In Mexico, September is a month filled with joy, pride, and plenty of flavor. At the heart of it all is Mexican Independence Day, celebrated on the night of September 15 and into the 16. This vibrant holiday marks the historic moment when Mexico began its fight for independence from Spain, with a powerful call to arms known as El Grito de Dolores. Today, it’s a nationwide fiesta full of delicious food, music, and cultural traditions that bring friends and families together.
Our all-ages, all-inclusive resort in Punta de Mita has everything set for an unforgettable Mexican celebration. The “Viva La Fiesta” concept will be woven into your day from sunrise to starlight.
