September

Independence Day Celebrations
September 15th-16th
September is the Mexican month of patriotism, “mes de la patria." Every pueblo and city will be filled with the red, green and white of Mexican flags, including vendors on many street corners selling the flags.

Independence day is celebrated on September 16th, but the celebrations begin the night before as citizens gather in town plazas for the “grita de independencia,” or shout of independence – Viva Mexico!  Typically the town’s mayor will wave a Mexican flag while shouting the grita (which commemorates Miguel Hidalgo’s 1810 call for independence), followed by fireworks and celebrations.  The 16th typically features a parade and more fiestas.
