About 1,200 people gathered at the Mexicantown Plaza Market on September 15, 2023, to celebrate the 213th anniversary of El Grito-Mexico’s independence.The Mexican Consulate in Michigan organized the celebration, which featured traditional tones, mariachi, folkloric dances, rock in Spanish, and salsa music, making attendees sing and dance.

According to Consul General of Mexico in Detroit, Consul Roberto Nicolás, the celebration outside of Mexico is significant because it allows Mexicans to celebrate everything that makes them proud of their heritage, and share it with the community that has received them with open arms.

He also expressed his gratitude for the trust of the Mexican community and sponsors, and hopes that more people will join the celebration next year.

In previous years, El Grito-Mexico’s independence festival was held at Holy Redeemer, but this is the second year that it has been held at the Mexicantown Plaza-Mercado, with support from Oakland University, the Mexicantown Community Development Corporation, Ideal Group, CHASS, Verheyden Inc., Ana Motors, among other sponsors. This year, the celebration grew in scale and had more entertainment and gastronomic offerings.

“We are very grateful to be a part of this celebration as it strongly supports MexicantownCDC’s mission to preserve and protect our Latino cultural heritage for generations to come,” said Raymond Lozano, Executive Director of Mexicantown Community Development Corporation.

The festival included the sale of Mexican food and crafts. Elena Guardiola, one of the entrepreneurs who has attended and participated in this celebration for several years, commented that this celebration is essential to her because she is far from her country and misses Mexico and its culture a lot. She said that such events slow down the feeling of longing and allow her to honor the Mexican flag.

1,200 personas gritaron ¡Viva México! en Mexicantown, Detroit

El 15 de septiembre, 2023, aproximadamente 1,200 personas se congregaron en la Plaza-Mercado Mexicantown para celebrar el 213 aniversario de El Grito de la Independencia de México. El festejo organizado por el Consulado de México en Michigan, fue ambientado tanto con tonos tradicionales de mariachi y bailes folklóricos, como también de rock en español y salsa animaron a los asistentes.

“La celebración del grito de independencia fuera de México es muy importante porque ahí celebramos todo lo que nos hace mexicanos y queremos compartirlo con la comunidad que nos ha recibido con brazos abiertos”, comentó el Cónsul general de México en Detroit, Cónsul Roberto Nicolás.

Agregó que este año la celebración creció, contó con más entretenimiento y oferta gastronómica, por lo que agradecen la confianza de la comunidad mexicana y de sus patrocinadores. También, esperan que más gente los acompañen el próximo año.

Anteriormente, la verbena de El Grito de Independencia de México se realizaba en la Holy Redeemer, y este es el segundo año en que dicho evento se realiza en la Plaza-Mercado Mexicantown. con apoyo de la Universidad Oakland, de la organización Mexicantown Community Development Corporation, Grupo Ideal, CHASS, Verheyden Inc., Ana Motors, entre otros patrocinadores.

“Estamos muy agradecidos de ser parte de esta celebración, ya que apoya firmemente la misión de Mexicantown CDC de preservar y proteger nuestra herencia cultural latina para las próximas generaciones”, expresó Raymond Lozano, Director Ejecutivo de Mexicantown Community Development Corporation.

La venta de antojos mexicanos y de artesanías fueron parte de la verbena. Elena Guardiola, una de las emprendedoras que ha asistido y participado en dicha celebración por varios años, comenta que para ella es muy importante esta celebración porque lamentablemente está muy lejos de su país y extraña mucho México y su cultura, y este tipo de eventos aminora el sentimiento de añoranza y le permite honrar a la bandera mexicana.
