On the evening of September 15, the traditional “Grito de Independencia” is celebrated throughout Mexico when authorities in Mexico from the President to Municipal Mayors and invited guests gather on balconies of public buildings at approximately 11pm to shout out “Viva México” three times in memory of the declaration of the Mexican War of Independence on September 16, 1810.
For this year’s annual celebration, Mazatlán’s Cultural Institute and municipal government have lined up an impressive array of free performances in the Plazuela República in front of city hall.
