El Grito Weekend

Celebrate Mexican Independence Day at Historic Market Square. The El Grito Weekend commemorates 200 years since the consummation of the independence of Mexico in 1821, 500 years of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, and 700 years since the establishment of the great city of Tenochtitlán.

Continue the historic celebration during the weekend for two days of delicious antojitos, artisan vendors and more at Historic Market Square. Proceeds from El Grito San Antonio will benefit the LULAC Scholarship Foundation to help high school seniors follow their dreams through higher education. Masks and social distancing are encouraged.
