About Mexican Independence Day

Mexican Independence Day is on 16 September. It remembers the morning of 16 September 1810, when the church bell rang in the town of Dolores and the call for independence, the Grito de Dolores, began the long struggle that ended in 1821.

Celebrations start on the night of 15 September, when towns and cities repeat the Grito from balconies and squares and crowds answer "¡Viva México!" under green, white and red lights and fireworks.

Families gather for pozole, tamales, enchiladas and chiles en nogada, which carry the colours of the flag, listen to mariachi music and decorate homes and streets with flags and papel picado. 16 September brings parades and a national holiday.
