That launched in earnest in 1810, on September 16. It&#8217;s a big national holiday, and one that international visitors can&#8217;t help but notice.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest commemoration of the event is in <a href=\"https:\/\/mexicocity.cdmx.gob.mx\/venues\/plaza-de-la-constitucion-the-zocalo\/\"><strong>El Z\u00f3calo<\/strong><\/a>, the main square in Mexico City. And there are dozens of celebrations going on in just about every direction from the Z\u00f3calo. The <a href=\"https:\/\/mexicocity.cdmx.gob.mx\/tag\/zocalo-area\/\"><strong>entire area<\/strong><\/a> is lit up. But it&#8217;s not the only place to get your Grito on.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Here&#8217;s a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/mexicocity.cdmx.gob.mx\/tag\/grito\/\"><strong>10 more places to celebrate in public in Mexico City<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But for normal Mexican people, the celebration goes on in restaurants, cantinas, and similar establishments all over the city. Here&#8217;s what they&#8217;re doing and, therefore, what is recommended to celebrate &#8220;El Grito&#8221;:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Eating traditional pozole<\/strong>. This is a big deal, and most people will tell you, you have to eat it at least once in the day before or after the actual celebration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chiles en nogada<\/strong>, the Puebla contribution to national cuisine is another good one. September 15 marks just about the close of the season for the Red, White, and Green dish. It&#8217;s a chile poblano stuffed with ground meat, nuts, and dried fruit. It&#8217;s then covered in walnut sauce, and sprinkled with red <strong>pomegranites<\/strong>. (That&#8217;s the part that goes out of season, so you really can&#8217;t get them all year.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eat other Mexican food<\/strong>. Of course, with so many people out, the streets are steaming with people making &#8211; and consuming\u00a0pambazos, tamales, tostadas, sopes, flautas, quesadillas &#8211; and more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Live it up in the local Cantina<\/strong>. Normally old-man bars, some of them will stay open late on September 15. You can usually sound out the bigger celebrations as the mariachis are being called in.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Learn a traditional song or two<\/strong>. Life in and around the <a href=\"https:\/\/mexicocity.cdmx.gob.mx\/venues\/garibaldi-plaza\/\"><strong>Plaza Garibaldi<\/strong><\/a> can stretch well into the wee-hours. Of course, the area is lined with revelry, and it&#8217;s not just on September 15. The <a href=\"https:\/\/mexicocity.cdmx.gob.mx\/venues\/san-camilito-market\/\"><strong>Mercado San Camilito <\/strong><\/a>will also help with point #1, 2 &amp; 3 above.<\/li>\n<li>Needless to say, the other reason that el Grito is such a big nightlife event, is because nobody has to work the next day. For that, the <a href=\"https:\/\/mexicocity.cdmx.gob.mx\/venues\/zona-rosa-lgbt\/\"><strong>Zona Rosa<\/strong><\/a> is always big with the LGBT community, among others. But revelers will be out in <a href=\"https:\/\/mexicocity.cdmx.gob.mx\/locations\/condesa-roma\/\"><strong>La Condesa and Roma<\/strong><\/a>, too. <a href=\"https:\/\/mexicocity.cdmx.gob.mx\/tag\/insurgentes-sur\/\"><strong>Insurgentes Sur<\/strong><\/a> has its own long stretch of night spots.<\/li>\n<li>Alternatively, you can also sleep early. Much of September 16 is spent on #1, Pozole, #2, Chiles en Nogada, and #3 (other food) too. It&#8217;s also a day especially for family. So you can enjoy it with yours, or with friends.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It&#8217;s a big deal in Mexico City, but just because lots of spots normally of interest to International Visitors are closed, there&#8217;s no reason not to make the most of it.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mexico City&#8217;s &#8220;El Grito&#8221; celebrations mark the beginning of the Independence Movement.
