My celebration of Independence day in Mexico City Today, in Mexico is commemorated our independence from Spain. Many kind of celebrations take place within the country but I am going to talk about how independence day will be celebrated in my city, and particularly for me and my husband. The most important celebration is held in "Zocalo", where the president will shout the cry of independence (grito de independencia) about 11:00 pm. Apart of Zocalo, we have 12 counties in Mexico City, each one has its town hall and a celebration is hosted there. There are two town halls near home, they belong to "Benito Juarez" and "Coyoacan" counties. We are going to both of them, where there will be a verbena. First, we are going to "Coyoacan". There will be folkloric ballet, marimba and mariachi. This place is about 4 km far from home and we will return when the mariachi ends its performance. Then, we are going to "Benito Juarez". There will be fireworks and musical bands. In this place we will hear the cry of independence. This place is about 1 km from home so we can come back by walking when we feel like. By the way, we ate pozole, which is a very typical food eaten today!
