On a night full of patriotic fervor and tradition, the Governor of the State of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro Ramírez, led what was his last ceremony of the Grito de Independencia from the Government Palace, in the emblematic Plaza de Armas of Guadalajara, where he exclaimed in the speech before the people of Jalisco the Federalism, the Republic, the division of powers and the Free and Sovereign State of Jalisco.
At 9:00 p.m., Alfaro Ramírez energetically recalled the national heroes who gave the country its homeland and freedom, waving the tricolor flag from the main balcony of the Government Palace in commemoration of the 214th anniversary of the beginning of the struggle for Mexico’s independence. More than 90,000 people gathered in Plaza de Armas, Plaza Liberación and Plaza Guadalajara.
The traditional “Viva México!” resonated among the attendees, who, with flags, gave life to a memorable night.
“Mexicans: Today we meet once again to celebrate the conquest of our freedom and our national independence. Today we want to celebrate together our homeland and also the pride of being from Jalisco. The pride that here in this land slavery was abolished, federalism was forged and we fight every day to defend the Republic.
Therefore, from the heart of Guadalajara, this is the voice of the people of Jalisco;
Long live the women and men who gave us our homeland and freedom!
Long live Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla!
Long live Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez!

The event took place in an atmosphere of order and security, with a clean slate, thanks to the coordinated efforts of local authorities and security forces. The impeccable organisation was noteworthy, guaranteeing the enjoyment and safety of the thousands of attendees.
At the end of the ceremony, those present witnessed a majestic fireworks display that illuminated the sky of the capital of Jalisco.
The celebration then continued with a concert by the renowned musical group La Arrolladora Banda El Limón, who delighted the audience with their traditional band music, making this evening a truly popular celebration.
