On the occasion of commemorating Mexico's Independence Day, the Consulate of Mexico invites the community in southern Arizona to enjoy food, snacks, and Hispanic-inspired products from local traditional and small businesses at the esplanade of the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall. Vibrant folklórico dances, mariachi, and norteño music will also be performing from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
Until 1854 the territory of what is now southern Arizona was still part of Mexico. This means that Tucson was part of Mexico when the country gained its independence in 1821. This event celebrates the continuing bonds that unite generations of Mexicans and Americans across our shared border.
