Gay Charro Alberto Cuevas to Perform at Mercurio, Frida’s and Chachacala
Puerto Vallarta will celebrate Mexican Independence Day on Sep 15, 2023, in many different ways, including fireworks, parties and the municipal president giving the annual “cry of the Grito.”
Technically, Independence Day is Sept. 16, 2023, but celebrations will begin on the evening of Sept. 15, as they lead up to 11 p.m. and the “Grito de Delores”.
Each colonial is planning their own celebrations, but if you want to participate in the largest festival, you can go to the Malecon, near the presidential palace.
Activities start at 6:15 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 15, with Azucena Campos, followed by Martín Rodríguez “El Auténtico de Nayarit” at 6:45 p.m.. Then, at 7:20 p.m. the group Mía Dance Studio will take the stage. At 7:45 p.m. the Komander MR Group will enliven those present to make way for Grupo Zafiro at 9:45 p.m.. At 10:30 p.m. the Mariachi Tierra Jalisciense will perform and at 11 PM the municipal president, Luis Alberto Michel Rodríguez, will go out to the presidency box to give the Grito de Dolores.
At 11:30 p.m. the fireworks show will begin, which is expected to last for at least 30 minutes. And then around 12:15 p.m, Cinthia Urtiaga, the singer of Grupo Farra, will perform.
The “El Grito” (or Dolores Cry) is a tribute to the battle cry that launched a rebellion in 1810 that led to the end of the Spanish colonial rule in Mexico.
And if you are a fan of the Mexican dish Chilli in Nogada, many restaurants are offering the dish during the month of September, including Frida’s Restaurant 4.0,for $259 pesos.
September 14 is Charro Day, and you can enjoy watching the Mexican Charros (Mexican cowboys) parade through Puerto Vallarta in the morning wearing traditional charro outfits with beautifully decorated jackets, pants, and sombreros. There are traditional displays of roping and bullfighting plus plenty of good food and dancing.
