Mexico’s Independence Day is celebrated on September 16….not Cinco de Mayo as some may think 😉 I attended the Anniversary of Mexican Independence event organized by the Consulate of Mexico. It was a very nice event with dignitaries, award recipients, and performances by ballet folkloric and the Student Mariachi from San Diego State University. The ballet folkloric performances were beautiful and the Mariachi music gave me goosebumps, it was such a delight to listen to! The event was held at the San Diego Museum of Art with a reception after the program. The food was delicious, of course a Mexican menu, with sopes, tamales, empanadas, pastel tres leches, tacos, salad with queso fresco, aguas frescas, and traditional popsicles made from fresh fruit! Happy Independence Day to Mexico and all of it’s people, as a Mexican-Amreican, I include myself in the celebration! I get to celebrate the 4th of July & 16th of September! Did you know Mexican Independence Day is on September 16? How do you celebrate Mexican Independence Day?
