Mexican Independence Day is a highly anticipated national holiday celebrated on September 16th, marking the country’s separation from Spain. While many mistakenly believe May 5th to be the day of celebration, the true spirit of independence is felt throughout Mexico in September.
Despite the absence of large-scale public celebrations this year, the streets of Puerto Vallarta and other cities will be adorned with the colors of Mexico – red, white, and green. Flags will proudly wave in honor of the occasion, and local eateries will offer special dishes to mark the event.
For those looking to partake in the festivities, Kaiser Maximillian and Gaby’s Restaurant are excellent choices. Kaiser Maximillian, located within walking distance, offers the traditional Independence Day dish of Chiles en Nogada until October 10th. Gaby’s Restaurant, situated in downtown Vallarta, serves authentic Mexican cuisine in a relaxed setting.
Alternatively, guests can enjoy the sunset from their suite terrace while indulging in Chiles en Nogada delivered by caterer Claudia Lovera. Orders can be conveniently placed through the concierge via WhatsApp message or for restaurant reservations.
For a more laid-back celebration, guests can visit any of the Pinnacle Resorts sky bars or lounges. Indulge in Tequila, Margaritas, and other Mexican beverages during the nightly Happy Hour, where all drinks are 2×1. Raise your glass and toast with a spirited “Viva Mexico!” in honor of the occasion.
