Puerto Vallarta will resume in-person events for the upcoming Mexico Independence Day as Mexico citizens celebrate their 212th anniversary of Independence.
The Vallarta government resumes face-to-face events after two years of absence due to the pandemic that the country was going through, which avoided crowds and public events.
Mexican Independence Day celebrates the beginning of the war that ended Spain’s colonial rule of Mexico. On September 16, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Roman Catholic priest, rang the bell of his church and proclaimed the call to arms that began the Mexican War for Independence.
Puerto Vallarta festivities begin on Tuesday, September 13.
On Wednesday, September 14, as part of the National Charro Day, at 11 a.m. participants from the 12 Charras associations of the municipality will parade. The parade will begin in the Emiliano Zapata neighborhood, at the intersection of Basilio Badillo and Ignacio L. Vallarta, they will advance north along this road to continue along Morelos Street, continue along the Malecón and Mexico Avenue until they finish on Nicaragua Street.
On Thursday, September 15, at 11:00 p.m., the municipal president, Prof. Michel, will perform from the central balcony of the Municipal Palace, the Cry of Independence in front of the Plaza de Armas, where thousands of vallates and visitors are expected to be present. The Cry for Independence is one of the country’s most important historical events, as it marks the beginning of Mexico’s struggle for independence and is commemorated on September 15 every year.
And on Friday, September 16, the traditional civic-military parade is scheduled, alluding to the beginning of independence, with the same route of approximately two kilometers of the charro parade.
In addition to these celebrations, both residents and visitors can enjoy the different Mexican-style events that Puerto Vallarta hotels and restaurants have prepared.
