Mexico's First Female President to Lead Independence Ceremony
On September 15th, 2025, at 11:00 PM, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum will lead the Grito de Independencia ceremony in Mexico City's Zócalo. This marks the first time a woman will give the traditional cry, 'Viva México,' three times, commemorating 215 years since the start of the fight for independence from Spain. The event will follow concerts by Alejandra Ávalos, Legado de Grandeza, and La Arrolladora Banda El Limón. The ceremony will include the ringing of bells at the National Palace, waving the national flag, and paying homage to national heroes. The Zócalo, one of the world's largest plazas, will host this historic moment, with hundreds of thousands of people expected to gather. The inauguration of a female president is a source of pride for many Mexican women, including Marta García and Angélica.
