11 Sep Celebrate September 15th in style in Guadalajara!

Do you want to know where the true heart of the National Holidays in Mexico is located?

It’s Guadalajara! Forget about conventional celebrations and get ready for a September 15th that can only be experienced in La Perla Tapatia.

Imagine this: you are in Liberation Plaza, surrounded by a crowd as cool as you, all ready to let out the most iconic shout of “Viva México!” you have ever heard.

Sweet homeland with a jericalla!

Who said you can’t start with dessert? Before you head into the party, make a quick stop at a local stand and order a jericalla. This creamy dessert is like a flan, but with a touch from Guadalajara that will make you say “Viva México!” with every spoonful.

Get ready to rock with Café Tacvba in Liberation Square!

Are you a fan of alternative rock and are you in Guadalajara for September 15? So, you have a date with history. Imagine starting your National Holidays night with none other than Café Tacvba, the iconic rock band in Spanish that is going to make everyone jump in the Plaza de la Liberación.

Best of all: it’s a free concert! So there are no excuses; The party begins at 7:00 p.m. in the Historic Center of Guadalajara.

Refresh yourself with a tejuino!

After the concert and the grape harvest, you will probably need something to cool off. What’s better than a glass of tejuino? This fermented corn drink is the perfect way to lower your temperature and raise your spirits. And yes, the snowball in the center is the master touch.

Live the tradition in the Plaza de Armas!

Do you want to feel the pulse of Guadalajara at its best? So, after the Café Tacvba concert, head to the Plaza de Armas, in the heart of the Historic Center. Here, the party is lived in style with thousands of people from Guadalajara showing their love for Mexico.

Imagine a place where the grape harvest becomes a festival of flavors, colors and sounds. From snacks to crafts, there is something for everyone. And yes, get ready for those mariachis that will make you sing “Cielito Lindo” like never before.

The queen of the night, the drowned cake!

Now, the main course (literally). Before heading to Zapopan to continue the party, you can’t leave without trying an authentic drowned cake. Imagine a birote stuffed with carnitas, bathed in a tomato and chili sauce. It’s the kind of food that makes you feel more Mexican with every bite.

Zapopan, the party continues!

Did you think the night ended there? Not at all! After experiencing the tradition in the center, it is time to change scenery and head to Zapopan. Here, the night is young and the bars and restaurants are waiting for you to continue the celebration.

The grand finale: Guadalajara awaits you in its emblematic jewels!

You can’t say that you lived on September 15 in Guadalajara if you don’t take a tour of its most iconic places, which on this night dress up in the colors of our flag. Imagine the Plaza de Armas, the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Rotunda of Illustrious Men illuminated with green, white and red. It is as if the city itself joined in the cry of “Long live Mexico!”

But that is not all. What would a Mexican party be without mariachis and folk dances? That’s right, these places will not only be illuminated spectacularly, but they will also be full of music and dance that will make you feel in the heart of Mexico.

So here is our final invitation: If you want to experience a night of National Holidays that leaves you speechless, that makes you feel the pride of being Mexican in every pore of your skin, and that offers you a party like only Guadalajara knows how to do, you can not lose this!
