In memory of children who have passed away, the non-profit organization Era en Abril along with Mazatlán’s family services (DIF) are sponsoring a balloon release at 4pm on November 1 at the Cliff Drivers’ plazuela in Olas Altas.
Montserrat Becerra of Era en Abril explained this is the first time such a ceremony has taken place in Mazatlán. It is to help parents and families who have lost a child or sister or brother to commemorate their spirit, she added.
Families can bring their own balloons with the names of their loved ones and a message written on the balloon or they can purchase a balloon at a minimum cost at the location.
