"Día de la Independencia" is celebrated in Mexico on September 16th each year. This day marks the beginning of the Mexican War of Independence from Spanish rule, which started in 1810. The event is commemorated with parades, fireworks, and the reenactment of the "Grito de Dolores," a call to arms made by Miguel Hidalgo, a Catholic priest. The holiday is a significant national celebration, symbolizing freedom and unity for the Mexican people. Festivities often include traditional music, dance, and the display of the Mexican flag. It is a time for families and communities to come together and honor their country's history.
