Independence Day is celebrated in all of Mexico and by people of Mexican origin throughout the world on September 16. This day commemorates the 16th September 1810 in the small town of Dolores, in the province of Guanajuato in Mexico, when a small group of people were summoned by a parish priest to take up arms against the Spanish colonial government – the Viceroyalty of New Spain. This fight for independence  ended 350 years of Spanish rule.

Even today, the church bell that was used to call people to revolt hangs in the National Palace in Mexico City and is rung on the eve of 16th September each year by the President of Mexico.  The celebration includes parades and fairs and the festivities always involve traditional antojitos, best described as finger foods, Mexican candis and punch.  Punch, or Ponche is a drink made from fruits that are in season such as guayabas, sugarcane, raisins and apples.  Mariachi bands are also part of the celebration.

March 21 is a national holiday in Mexico celebrating Benito Juarez Day.   Benito Juarez was born on March 21, 1806 and died July 18, 1872.  His full name was Benito Pablo Juarez Garcia and he was a lawyer and politician from Oaxaca.  He served 5 terms as President of Mexico from 1858 to 1872.  He is known for being the first Mexican leader who did not have a military background and was also the first full-blooded indigenous national ever to serve at President of Mexico and to lead a country in the Western Hemisphere.  During his reign he resisted French occupation, overthrew the Empire and restored the Republic.  He is also known for his liberal efforts to modernize the country. 

Today he is remembered as a progressive reformer dedicated to democracy and equal rights.  His time as President is known as La Reforma (the reform), and “constituted a liberal political and social revolution”. His photo is on the 20 pesos bank note.

Mexican banks, state and federal offices and local offices will be closed today.
