Hey Guys,
Long time no hear. Man! When’s the last time we spoke?
Oh yeah, right….back in May. Cinco De Mayo in Chicago….that’s right. What a crazy few weeks of events! Hope all has been well since then. Anyway back in May, we told you that despite popular belief, 5 De Mayo was NOT the Mexican Independence Day and that Grito de Dolores actually occurs on September 16th to be exact.
So seeing as how September is upon us, we here at Cinco De Mayo Chicago, felt it was only right to let you know about some of the Grito de Dolores events Chicago has to offer.
We will be posting information on any Mexican Independence Day Chicago events. While you wait, checkout this video from last years’ celebration in MEXICO.
