September 15 in Mexico: tradition and history that unites us.

Every September 15, lights are turned on throughout Mexico, the bells ring and the colors green, white and red paint the streets. It is one of the most festive nights of the year: the commemoration of the beginning of the Independence of Mexico.

The story takes us to 1810, when in the early hours of September 16, the priest Miguel Hidalgo launched the famous "Grito de Dolores" that ignited the struggle for freedom. Since then, every year, the night of the 15th becomes a symbol of union, pride and memory, reminding us that we are a people capable of rising with strength and hope.

The celebrations begin with the decorated streets. Every corner of the country brings its own style, but everyone shares the same essence: meeting in community to remember the beginning of our freedom.

From traditional snacks to mariachi music and folk dances, every detail connects us with our roots. And here too the craftsmanship takes on a special role: the woven and embroidered garments, the clay dishes, the handmade flags, the painted hats and the chopped paper decorations, all are an essential part of this celebration.

Families gather to share typical dishes such as pozole, toasts, chilies in nogada or tamales, often served on clay crockery or with artisanal utensils that reinforce the connection with what is made in Mexico.

Children run with flags, adults dress in typical clothes and artisans find a space for their pieces to show off in the middle of the national festival.

This is how you live a September 15 in Mexico. Music, joy, and Coexistence. Celebrating is shouting "Long live Mexico!" But let's remember that celebrating is also honoring our roots, valuing what is handmade and recognizing that freedom is lived in every cultural expression that distinguishes us.
