Tijuana, BC- Praising Mexican traditions, as well as generating roots in this city for everyone, is one of the priorities of Mayor Montserrat Caballero Ramírez, who headed this Tuesday the traditional Contest of Altars and Catrinas in the central courtyard of the Municipal Palace.
With the motto “Transforming death into life”, all the staff of the XXIV Town Hall joined the festivities for the Day of the Dead, inviting the Tijuana community to be part of this party that identifies us as Mexicans.
What we are doing here at your City Hall is carrying out these activities so that if you come to do a procedure or issue here in the Palace, you can visit the altars, because we need to rescue Mexican traditions, these traditions that are also Tijuana natives,” stressed the mayor of Tijuana.
The director of Attention to Indigenous Peoples, Maribel Aída Velasco García, highlighted that the municipal government headed by Caballero Ramírez has also sought to promote Mexicanness, as well as the traditions of indigenous peoples, represented in the main altar, installed in the central patio of the Municipal Palace.
