Independence day

About my culture... well we every year we recalled the Independence Day which is a Mexican holiday to celebrate the “cry of independence” on September 16, 1810, which started a revolt against the Spain. My whole family gets together for dinner typical food, we dance, we sing, and we light firecrackers. Whistles and horns are blown, and confetti is thrown to celebrate this festive occasion. "Viva Mexico" or "Viva la independencia” are shouted amidst the crowds on this day. The incredible thing is that my family once again reunited.
