Mexican holidays are colorful and diverse, reflecting the country’s rich cultural heritage. Independence Day on September 16th is marked by the famous “El Grito” ceremony. The Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) on November 1-2 is a unique celebration honoring deceased loved ones. Holy Week (Semana Santa) features religious processions and passion plays. The feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12th is a major religious observance. Cinco de Mayo, while not a federal holiday, commemorates the Battle of Puebla. The Guelaguetza festival in Oaxaca celebrates indigenous cultures.
