About Mexican Independence Day in Cancún
Mexico's Independence Day is September 16. It remembers the morning of 1810 when the priest Miguel Hidalgo rang the church bell in Dolores and called people to rise against Spanish rule, a call known as the Grito de Dolores.
Every year, on the night of September 15, mayors across Mexico repeat the Grito from their balcony and the crowd answers ¡Viva México! In Cancún the city celebrates at the Palacio Municipal downtown, with a free concert and fireworks or a drone show. September 16 is a national holiday with parades.
