The Independence Day in Mexico is a very important celebration. It is celebrated on September 16th to commemorate the beginning of the fight for Mexico’s independence. During this day, there are parades, the Mexican flag is waved, people dress up with the cultural clothes and cultural events take place throughout the country. It is also a tradition for the President of Mexico to give the famous “Grito de Independencia” from the balcony of the National Palace in Mexico City.
I like to celebrate it by having a big dinner with my family and putting “Mexican” clothes on, like a red, white and green outfit or even the Mexican soccer jersey.
