Overview

  • The city installed roughly 250 pasacalles, rehiletes, banderas and luminarias that will be illuminated from September 1 to 30 following a reported 400,000‑peso outlay.
  • Adorned sites include Avenida Madero, plazas in the Centro Histórico and Boulevard García de León, with tricolor scenic lighting for the Cathedral and the Aqueduct.
  • Officials presented a monthlong calendar that opens with the flag‑raising on September 1 and features fairs, exhibitions, concerts and videomapping.
  • The Grito is set for September 15 at 22:00 at Palacio de Gobierno and the civic‑military parade for September 16 at 11:00, with closing ceremonies on September 30.
  • This year's unveiling proceeded without the customary Bando Solemne procession and without Mayor Alfonso Martínez, and a Christian Nodal performance for September 15 remains unconfirmed.
