Established in 1934, Mexican Charro day, or Día del Charro, is celebrated in Mexico on September 14.

15th – El Grito de Dolores
El Grito de Dolores (or Cry of Dolores) was the battle cry of Roman Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla in the early morning hours of September 15, 1810, in what is now the City of Dolores Hidalgo in the State of Guanajuato. Hidalgo’s cry to his townspeople to rise up against the Spanish became the cry of Independence for the whole country. Each year on September 15, the President of Mexico re-enacts this famous cry from the balcony of the National Palace in Mexico City and rings the same bell that Hidalgo rang in 1810 (which has since moved to the National Palace), shouting “Viva México! Viva la Independencia! Vivan los héroes!” Los Cabos City Officials re-enact their own version of the cry at 11pm on September 15 followed by celebrations late into the night.
16th – Mexican Independence Day
Although many foreigners believe Mexico Independence Day falls on “Cinco de Mayo” or May 5, the actual date of Mexico’s Independence is September 16. Independence Day is perhaps the most celebrated national holiday in Mexico commemorated with colorful parades, traditional food, lively music, marching bands, fireworks and fiestas decorated in red, white and green. Here in Los Cabos, you will find almost every bar, restaurant and resort in town doing something festive to honor this special day including a firework show on Medano Beach!

Aug – Dec – Baby Sea Turtle Rescue
Every year from late August to early December, sea turtles (or “tortugas” in Spanish) arrive to lay their eggs on the shores of Baja California from as far away as Japan and Indonesia. Five out of seven of the world’s endangered sea turtle species inhabit our beloved Baja peninsula, a region that provides both a nesting habitat and essential feeding grounds for these turtles. Local groups like Asupmatoma A.C, Tortugueros Las Playitas A.C., Grupo Tortuguero de Todos Santos A.C., SEE Turtles and others have formed to protect our local sea turtle population and educate the public about the dangers of fishing and poaching. These groups also assist along with Federal and local police and volunteers to protect turtle eggs from human poachers and potentially harmful beach activities such as ATV’s and horseback riding. Many organizations allow tourists to participate in releasing baby turtles into the ocean in exchange for desperately needed donations to help future conservations efforts. If you have the chance to volunteer or donate, it will be an experience you and your family will never forget!
