The city of Cancún officially kicked off the Christmas season with a festive celebration that united families and communities in a spirit of hope and solidarity. The event, held in Plaza De La Reforma, featured the lighting of a monumental Christmas tree by Mayor Ana Paty Peralta.
With palpable emotion, Mayor Peralta delivered a message highlighting the significance of unity and solidarity in these challenging times. "I hope the light from this Christmas tree symbolizes our collective potential – the ability to illuminate our path towards a more united, compassionate, and peaceful Cancún," she stated.
Accompanied by her children and numerous local kids, Mayor Peralta noted that the Christmas lights adorning the venue symbolize shared dreams and aspirations, and the collective desire to transform Cancún into an ideal home for all families. The day was packed with cultural and artistic activities, with families enjoying a festive program presented by the Municipal Band and Choir. Their rendition of traditional carols filled the atmosphere with joy.
Mayor Peralta announced that the holiday spirit would spread throughout Cancún. For the third year running, nine Christmas posadas will tour various superblocks, accompanied by the illumination of 12 iconic roundabouts. Additionally, Christmas in Villa Cancún, situated at Malecón Tajamar, is set to be a highlight, thanks to the Governor's support.
The Mayor encouraged families to instill in the younger generations the true essence of Christmas: the magic of sharing and unity. "May this lighting not only brighten this plaza but also leave a lasting impression in every neighborhood, workplace, and home, ensuring the spirit of unity and generosity endures all year round," she concluded.
The event culminated with the traditional countdown and lighting of the Christmas tree, adorned with pinatas, stars, and balls crafted by the General Service Department, and embellished with multicolored lights and garlands. This commencement of the festive season serves as a reminder of the values that bind Cancún and its residents: hope, love, and the joy of living in such a bountiful land.
