If you’re in Puerto Vallarta (or anywhere in Mexico) on this date, there are a few fun facts we think you should know about one of Mexico’s most patriotic celebrations.

• Although the Grito de Dolores was actually given by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla in September of 1810, the first year that Mexico celebrated El Grito was in 1825.
• El Grito de Dolores or the “Cry of Dolores” was a speech given by Hidalgo to summon his fellow Mexicans to come together to end 300 years of Spanish rule in Mexico.
• The Treaty of Córdoba, the treat that granted Mexico its independence from Spain, wasn’t signed until 1821 – 11 years after El Grito. Septemer 16^th represents the date that Mexicans took up arms to fight for their independence.
• Mexico’s Independence Day celebrations actually begin on September 15^th at 11:00 p.m. – when Mexico’s president will step out onto the balcony of the National Palace and ring the bell before reenacting Hidalgo’s speech.
