Puerto Vallarta Mayor Arturo Dávalos Peña led the ceremony of the Grito de Independencia from the balcony of the municipal palace, while about 11,000 Vallartenses and visitors filled Plaza de Armas chanting ¡Viva Mexico! together.
The night of September 15, 1810, is Mexico's most significant historical, the "Grito de Independencia", made by priest Don Miguel Hidalgo and Costilla in the town of Dolores, Guanajuato. It was there that Hidalgo called people to take up arms against the Spaniards and liberate Mexico. It was the beginning of the Independence War that lasted 10 years.
