About local holidays
Mexico distinguishes between official holidays (días feriados) and civic days. Independence is celebrated on the night of Sept 15-16 with the Grito de Dolores. Revolution Day (Nov 20) honours the 1910 uprising against Porfirio Díaz. Día de los Muertos (Nov 1-2) is not a federal holiday but effectively closes everything — altars, cempasúchil flowers, pan de muerto. Cinco de Mayo (1862 Battle of Puebla) is bigger in the US than in Mexico. Christmas and Día de Reyes (Jan 6) close out the year.
