Mexican Independence Day

Cabalgata Historica

To kick off Mexico’s Independence Day celebrations, Casa Dragones joined the “Cabalgata Histórica,” one of the most unique events to celebrate Mexico’s Independence. Over three days, the “Cabalgata Histórica” begins each year in the city of Queretaro and ends in oue spiritual home of San Miguel de Allende. This historic horseback ride commemorates the moment that Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez, insurgent and supporter of the Mexican War of Independence, informed Miguel Hidalgo, Juan Aldama, and Ignacio Allende, captain of the Dragones of San Miguel, that their plans to start the movement of independence had been discovered. Soon after, Allende, Aldama, Hidalgo and the Dragones left to Dolores to officially start the war of Independence with “El Grito de Independencia.”
