What Is Mexican Independence Day?

It is one of Mexico's most beloved and important traditions for its citizens. On September 15, 1810, Mexico's fight for freedom from Spanish rule began. Today, celebrations last between September 15 and 16, and start with the "El Grito" ceremony, in which the president of Mexico gives the "Cry of Dolores" from the National Palace in Mexico City, just like the priest Miguel Hidalgo did in 1810. People gather to shout "¡Viva México!" and enjoy fireworks, music, and traditional food.
