Puerto Vallarta, one of Mexico's most beloved tourist destinations, is gearing up to celebrate the country’s most important national holiday: the Grito de Independencia (Cry of Independence). The Plaza de Armas, located in the heart of the city's historic center, transforms into a festive stage that attracts both locals and tourists, offering a magical night filled with music, dancing, traditional food, and a spectacular fireworks display. On September 15, 2024, the Plaza de Armas will be the meeting point for thousands of people who, as every year, will gather to commemorate the historic night when Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla delivered the first cry for independence in 1810.
The festivities will begin early in the afternoon, with a festive atmosphere where the Mexican spirit can be felt in every corner of the plaza. Entire families, friends, and tourists will gather to enjoy a warm and lively environment. Live music will be one of the main attractions of the celebration, with local bands and mariachi groups performing traditional Mexican songs, inviting everyone present to sing and dance.
The stage at the Plaza de Armas will be decorated in the patriotic colors of green, white, and red, with flags waving high as homage is paid to the heroes who fought for Mexico's freedom. As is customary during patriotic celebrations, food will play a key role. Attendees will be able to indulge in a wide variety of traditional dishes available from food stalls around the Plaza de Armas.
