¡Viva México! Thousands Gather for an Unforgettable El Grito Tradition
On September 15, 2026, thousands of Angelenos gathered at Los Angeles City Hall to celebrate El Grito de Dolores with pride, passion, and tradition. The annual event commemorates the call that launched Mexico’s struggle for independence while honoring the rich history and contributions of Los Angeles’ Mexican and Mexican American communities.
For many families, the evening was an opportunity to honor the sacrifices of previous generations and encourage younger generations to embrace their heritage with pride.
Home to one of the largest populations of Mexican descent outside of Mexico, Los Angeles welcomed people from across the city to take part in the celebration. The event highlighted a cultural legacy that remains vibrant, resilient, and deeply connected to the city’s identity.
As joyful cheers of “¡Viva México!” echoed through the crowd, the celebration reflected the enduring strength and spirit of Los Angeles’ Mexican and Mexican American communities.
