Mexican Independence Day is September 16th, but really it starts on September 15th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the night of September 15th, a ceremony is held in the Zocalo Plaza<\/a> in Mexico City, and in state capitols and city halls throughout the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony is called “El Grito”, the “shout” or “cry”, commemorating the Grito of Miguel Hidalgo in 1810 which publicly initiated a movement which eventually became a movement for the independence of Mexico. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the ceremony in the Zocalo, the president comes out on to a balcony of the Palacio Nacional<\/a> and rings a bell (similar to the Liberty Bell in the U.S.) and shouts a series of Vivas, “Viva” meaning “Long Live…” to commemorate Mexican historical figures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then he rings the bell a lot and waves the flag, and the national anthem is sung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the state capitols and cities, the ceremony is presided over by the governor or mayor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, on the 16th, there is a military parade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, AMLO, is nearing the end of his presidential term, with just a couple of weeks to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So AMLO presided over the Grito on September 15th, 2024<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is what AMLO shouted from the balcony<\/a> in 2024:
