Festivities for Mexican Independence Day begin Friday. This year marks the 213th anniversary of the night of Sept. 15, 1810, when Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a priest, rang church bells and called on the townspeople to fight for independence. Celebrations include "El Grito," a re-creation of the original battle cry, where one will hear remembrances of fallen heroes, and the famous: ¡Viva México!
Here is information with events throughout the county where locals can celebrate Mexico’s Independence Day.
