Independence Day of Mexico

Today is important day for Mexico, because today marks day 203 years of its independence I like this day because it is a day of celebration, and during the evening of September 15, people start gathering in the Zócalo or in the main square of your city or town. Many people walk around dressed in typical Mexican dresses: men as “Charros” and women as “China Poblanas”, or indigenous dresses. But if don't have typical outfit, at least dress find something to wear in the colors of the flag.

In the main square can never miss live music with “Mariachis” or people in competing singing with Mexican music. In the square, there is also a fair with games for young children and adults and of course without fail positions many people delicious Mexican dinner with their families usually there because the food is very good and rich. As the evening advances, the square gradually fills with more and more people; suddenly there is practically no room to move. Excitement and euphoria reach a crescendo at the expected moment when the president arrives in the Zócalo, at 11:00 P.M. to give the "grito" or the Cry of Independence.  This process reminds the moment in which Father Hidalgo, gathered his followers in Dolores Guanajuato. It is customary for our President to deliver the “grito” (cry) in Mexico City’s Zócalo. It is in this square, atop Palacio Nacional, that the original bell rung by Hidalgo is placed. And this is the bell that is rung every 16th of September. The ceremony becomes more significant when the crowd joins in proudly shouting out the names of the heroes of our Independence, to and end with the exciting VIVA MÉXICO!!! VIVA!!!
