This Thursday September 15^th the Mexican community will be hosting a Mexican party and the entrance will be free.

On September 16^th of 1810 was the beginning of a social revolution that marked the starting of the independence of Mexico and on September 27^th of 1821 was the ending of this revolution, it lasted 11 years and the reason was to get free from the Spanish domain.

The reason of this independence was that the Spanish domain was controlling the economies, culture and politics in Mexico, letting just some people be rich and mostly all the others poor. After the independence there was an economic crisis in the Spanish empire society due that Mexico was the 80% of their economy.

So, every September 15^th Mexicans gather and celebrate the independence of the country, and anywhere in the world where they are they celebrate, so if you want to know more about this celebration here is the information:

The event this year will be in Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre (181 Roundhouse Mews Vancouver, BC) and will be from 2:00 pm to 9:00 pm. There will be show happening around the day, like a Mariachi music band with “Los Dorados”, Mexican Banda, Rumba, Folklore dancers, singers, Lucha libre wrestling and much more. There will also be a kid’s zone with fun activities for the young ones and Mexican food like tacos, quesadillas, pozole, esquites (corn), candies, sodas, and much more from different restaurants and food trucks.
