National Holidays: September Celebrates Mexican Independence

National Holidays: September Celebrates Mexican Independence

Tara A. Spears

The month of September is bursting with tradition and Mexican pride- a perfect background for showcasing notable local individuals.

There are four federal and state designated holidays in September so be aware that there will be bank, business, and school closings plus heavy influx of visitors to the beach towns. 2024 has an exciting first Pineapple Festival to start the month of celebrations.

This display of love and loyalty towards their country, its history, its culture and its symbols will be celebrated with food, fiestas private and public, fireworks and lots of beer to show their patriotism.

The opening of the patriotism unit summarizes the family tradition of the 15 birthday- a very important fiesta. Next, the focus will be on a few of the Jaltemba Bay ranchers. These men carry on the centuries’ old tradition of ranching.   

                       

Although they have diverse backgrounds, all of the men showcased share the values of modern Mexican culture: a deep love of country, a profound commitment to family and community, and a reverence for land. All of these outdoorsmen work hard, deal with the challenges of unpredictable weather and suffer with the inflation. Ranchers are the foundation of this country. Saddle up, friends, as we ride to meet our neighbors!
