Why is Mexico’s Independence celebrated on September 15 and 16?

From the Grito de Dolores to the signing of the Act of Independence: this was how the insurgent leaders faced the royalist army and managed to throw off the Spanish yoke.

Independence Day is one of the most important and emotional dates in Mexico, as it commemorates the beginning of the struggle for the country’s Independence.

Every year on September 15, Mexicans gather to proudly celebrate their national identity, culture and traditions. Being such a crucial moment, every corner of the country is dressed in green, white and red.

And while every house, community and colony can be the scene of this great national holiday, the best way to spend this day of verbena is in a big way. And what better place to do it than in Los Cabos, a paradisiacal tourist destination located on the peninsula of Baja California Sur, which has everything ready to enjoy an unforgettable experience on this significant date.

In Los Cabos, Independence Day is celebrated with a series of events and activities to suit all tastes and budgets. If you plan to visit the destination, you can not miss the alternatives listed below:

In Los Cabos, you can attend this ceremony in the Plaza León Cota Collins in Cabo San Lucas, where the municipal president will shout from the balcony of the municipal palace. There you will see the fireworks show and listen to the national anthem along with hundreds of cabeños who congregate to celebrate.

You can also attend the Grito ceremony in Plaza Mijares, which is the main square of San José del Cabo, where the civic-military parade also takes place, which has the participation of the Mexican armed forces, as well as schools, cultural and sports groups.
