Other dates worth booking
Mexico's Independence Day is centered on the night of September 15, when the president re-enacts the "Grito de Dolores" from the National Palace balcony at 11pm, with the actual public holiday falling on September 16 - meaning the defining ritual happens the evening before the calendar date itself. Day of the Dead (November 1-2), while not itself a nationwide statutory holiday, shapes the surrounding days heavily.
