After Mexico gained independence from Spain in September of 1821, the Presidio San Agustín del Tucson was under Mexican rule for 33 years.  Our Mexican Independence Day celebration includes

• Re-enactors dressed as Mexican soldiers

• Coloring crafts and making papel picado (decorative paper flags)

• Mexican Flag activity discussing the symbolism of the flag

• Samples of Mexican candy

Join us for this fun, family-friendly, outdoor celebration!
