September 16 is one of Mexico's most important holidays. Every year, local mayors and politicians re-enact the famous Grito de Dolores. In Mexico City, thousands congregate in the Zócalo, or main square, on the night of the 15th to hear the President ring the same bell that Hidalgo did and recite the Grito de Dolores. The crowd roars, cheers and chants, and fireworks light up the sky. On the 16th, every city and town all over Mexico celebrates with parades, dances and other civic festivals.
Most Mexicans celebrate by hanging flags all over their home and spending time with family. A feast is usually involved. If the food can be made red, white and green (like the Mexican Flag) all the better!
Mexicans that live abroad bring their celebrations with them. In US cities with large Mexican populations, such as Houston or Los Angeles, expatriate Mexicans will have parties and celebrations – you'll probably need a reservation to eat at any popular Mexican restaurant that day!
Some people mistakenly believe that Cinco de Mayo, or May Fifth, is Mexico's independence day. That's not correct: Cinco de Mayo actually celebrates the unlikely Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

Cliff diving has been a tradition since 1961 in Mazatlán, and whenever the ocean conditions seem to make it impossible to dive, the young divers step back and give the limelight to the veteran divers, who made this place famous for what it is today.
Mario Gonzales Agilar was the diver who started the tradition in Mazatlán, and his (more than) 65 years of age don’t hinder him from still diving, especially in extreme conditions. This tourist attraction started as a risky adventure and bet with his friend Roberto Jauregui Villegas.
