Mexican Ambassador Enrique Hubbard Urrea and Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert join thousands in celebrating the official Mexican Independence Day, "Grito de Dolores"
The "Grito de Dolores" is a symbolic tradition religiously observed by the people of Mexico in commemoration of Mexico's Independence from Spain in 1825. September 16th is the most important national holiday observed with respect and reverence to the heroes who fought for liberty along with the natives who had been held captive since Hernando Cortez conquered Mexico.
It is a holiday that unites all Mexicans throughout the world. Dallas is no exception. The Smirnoff Music Center will gleam in the patriotic colors of green, white, and red which are the colors of the flag and which have distinct meaning: green (faith); white (unity); and red (the blood shed by the people who fought for liberty.)
The General Consulate of Mexico in Dallas invites the North Texas community to celebrate Mexico's Independence Day and enjoy the multiple fun activities, music, food, and the presence of many vendors showcasing their best promotions. We will see YOU and your family there! Viva Mexico!
