These dates mark the celebration of Mexico’s Independence anniversary. In fact, throughout the month, streets and houses are decorated with flags and tricolored ornaments.

On the night of September 15 at 11:00 PM, the "Cry of Independence" takes place. In Mexico City, the president of the Republic leads the ceremony from the National Palace.

The ceremony consists of the president appearing with the national flag and ringing the bell that Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the Father of the Nation, rang in 1810 in what is known as the "Cry of Dolores," when he called on the people to rise up against the Spanish. After the national heroes have been hailed, a fireworks display and a musical event follow.

This ceremony is replicated in each state at their respective Government Palace, where the governors lead the celebration.

The ceremony holds the most significance in Dolores Hidalgo, where Father Hidalgo called for the revolt to begin, and in Querétaro, where the entire independence movement was planned.

On the morning of September 16, a military parade takes place, marching through the main streets of the city center, including the Zócalo, where the President of the Republic presides over the parade.
