El Grito de Independencia
(Events - Best of the City)
various locations, Acapulco
Description: Shouts of "¡Viva Mexico!" fill the air along with the music of mariachi and other bands as people celebrate and remember the day in 1810 that Father Hidalgo led a revolt which helped gain independence from Spain. The party starts the night before with a special public address broadcast by the Mexican president. Fireworks, food, rides and all things festive reign throughout the day. Find a good spot in the zócalo for the best vantage point to view the merriment.
