How Mexico Celebrates Independence Day

Mexican Independence Day is on September 16th, and it’s the biggest fiesta of the year. 

Preparations begin days before. The party begins on the evening of the 15th and continues on through the next day. There’s plenty of delicious food, music, singing, dancing, tequila, and you get the idea. 

This is how we get ready to party here in Mexico!
