2013 Mexican Independence Day Parade. To see more photos of last year's parade, please click here. |
Coming up in Hollister on Sunday, September 14, is the Mexican Independence Day Parade. Starting at 11:30 AM, the parade will march down San Benito Street, from Nash Road to Fifth Street. The parade celebrates the day—September 16, 1810—that Mexico declared itself free of 300 years of rule under Spain, thus starting the Mexican War of Independence.
I'm hanging out at Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC Wednesday today, which is featuring the letter I. Click here to check out what other bloggers are posting.
That looks a wonderfully vibrant event.
