City Hall and Republica Plaza were ablaze in red, green and white lights, as the city began its celebration of the country’s independence from Spain, which is celebrated on September 16.
A colorful symbolic Mexican flag, painted on City Hall, was the backdrop for the city’s mayor, Carlos Felton, as he told the gathered audience “Thanks for joining us in this simple but significant event with which we begin our patriotic month in which we reaffirm our national values.”
Following the brief ceremony visitors proceeded to view an historical exhibition located inside City Hall, which has 20 images depicting the country’s struggle for independence.
Throughout the month of September there will be sporting, cultural, and social events to celebrate the country’s 204th birthday.
