Mexican Independence Day September 15-16
Nationwide celebrations of Mexico's Independence Declaration from Spain in 1810. "El Grito," a re-enactment of Father Hidalgo's call for his countrymen to join the uprising, is performed at 11:00 p.m., the night of the 15th, in most town squares. The President presides at the ceremony in Mexico City's Constitution Square. The whole country is basically closed for these two days. Shortly before dawn on September 16, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla made a monumentous decision that revolutionized the course of Mexican history. Within hours, Hidalgo, a Catholic priest in the village of Dolores, ordered the arrest of Dolores’ native Spaniards. Then Hidalgo rang the church bell as he customarily did to call the indians to mass. The message that Hidalgo gave to the indians and mestizos called them to retaliate against the hated gachopines or native Spaniards who had exploited and oppressed Mexicans for ten generations.
