Tasty Mexico Independence Day celebrations in Riviera Nayarit

Independence Day celebrations are a deeply rooted tradition in Mexico and the Riviera Nayarit is front and center when it comes to reveling.

These Mexico Independence Day festivities are the perfect excuse to spend a few days in Mexico’s Pacific Treasure—especially since they fall on a weekend. Celebrations in the destination are very exciting and take place in a beach ambiance that’s very different from other locations around the country.

The Ceremonia del Grito (the official Independence Day “yell”) happens in the plaza of all the coastal villages every September 15th accompanied by fireworks and verbenas.

Associated hotels in the destination are ready with themed activities, including “Mexican Nights” that—in some cases—include tequila, mariachi, traditional treats, and plenty of fun. There will also be spectacular dinners prepared by renowned chefs that will no doubt have you exclaiming: ¡Viva México!
