Overview
Often confused with Cinco de Mayo, Mexican Independence Day, officially called "El Día de la Independencia de México," is celebrated on September 16th. It commemorates the day in 1810 when priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla delivered his famous speech, "El Grito de Dolores," calling for Mexico to break free from Spanish rule. While the official independence was finalized on August 24, 1821, September 16th marks the start of the Mexican War of Independence.
