Mexico Finalizes Independence Day Lineups as Sheinbaum Plans Austere First Grito

Authorities outline concert schedules, security plans, and holiday pay guidance for the Sept. 15–16 festivities.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said the Sept. 15 balcony ceremony at Palacio Nacional will be very austere and limited essentially to the legal cabinet, with ambassadors and other branches invited to the Sept. 16 military parade.
  • The Zócalo program is set to start at 20:00 with La Arrolladora Banda El Limón, Alejandra Ávalos, and Colectivo Legado de Grandeza, followed by the traditional Grito later that night.
  • Municipal and state rosters are locked in nationwide, including Nicky Jam and Remmy Valenzuela at 18:00 in Gustavo A. Madero, Pepe Aguilar in Jalisco, and Julión Álvarez in Puebla.
  • Local governments report coordinated security and logistics operations in plazas and historic centers to manage large crowds and keep events family‑oriented.
  • Labor authorities and media reiterate that Sept. 16 is a statutory holiday under the LFT with triple pay if worked, while Sept. 15 is not an official day off.
