Mexican Independence Day on September 16th is not only a major national holiday but also a vibrant celebration of Mexico's rich cultural heritage. Known as "El Grito de Dolores," this day commemorates the beginning of Mexico's quest for independence from Spanish rule.
If you’re considering relocating to or investing in Los Cabos, experiencing this holiday firsthand is a fantastic way to engage with the local culture. Here’s how you can enjoy the festivities while exploring your future home or investment opportunity in this stunning destination.
The festivities kick off on the night of September 15th with "El Grito," a dramatic reenactment of Miguel Hidalgo's famous cry for independence. In Los Cabos, this historic moment is celebrated in various plazas, offering a chance to see how the community comes together in unity.
In Cabo San Lucas, join the celebration at the plaza in front of the main delegation, near Chedraui and Soriana supermarkets. This area will be bustling with local vendors, craft beers, mixed drinks, and street food.
For a more traditional experience, head to Plaza Mijares in San José del Cabo, where the mayor delivers the traditional shout of "¡Viva México!" The square, adorned with Mexican flags and festive lights, becomes a hub of patriotism and joy. Parking can be tricky though, so consider taking an Uber or taxi or parking at La Comer and walking over.
Wherever you celebrate, embrace the spirit of the day by wearing Mexico’s national colours—red, white, and green—or get your face painted by a local artist.
On September 16th, Los Cabos hosts lively parades featuring local school bands, charros (Mexican cowboys), and folkloric dancers showcasing traditional Mexican performances. This federal holiday sees schools and businesses closed, creating an opportunity for locals and visitors alike to experience Mexican culture in full swing.
The parades wind through the streets, decorated with floats that reflect Mexican history and culture. This is a great time to mingle with the community and witness firsthand the pride and celebration that makes Los Cabos unique.
No celebration is complete without a dazzling fireworks display. On the evening of September 16th, the skies over Los Cabos light up with vibrant pyrotechnics, often set to music for an added touch of excitement. Whether you’re relaxing at the beach or enjoying the view from your balcony, the fireworks are a must-see.
