Where to spend September 15th in Cancún?
Trips20/12/2025Visiting Cancún during the patriotic month is a guarantee of fun since you will find different activities for the whole family, you will taste different types of traditional Mexican dishes, you will find fireworks and the essential mariachi music in restaurants, bars and all-inclusive hotels in Cancún.
The celebration for September 15th is a national holiday, with days off that are ideal for a getaway to the beach and to celebrate in a big way in the variety of places available throughout the Cancún Hotel Zone, where you will surely have a great Mexican night.
What to do on September 15th in Cancún?
We share 6 great ideas to celebrate the Cry of Independence in Cancún during the upcoming long weekend:
1. Traditional Cry of Independence
The center of the patriotic festivities in Cancún is located at Plaza de la Reforma, with activities throughout September 15th that usually extend until 1:00 am the next day. The traditional Cry of Independence ceremony in Cancún is scheduled each year to take place at 10:50 pm.
The celebration concludes with a spectacular fireworks show at Plaza de la Reforma and throughout the Cancún Hotel Zone.
2. Mexican dinner in a Cancún restaurant
Throughout the Hotel Zone, you will find different restaurants with all kinds of gastronomic offerings, some with a view of the Caribbean Sea and others with a spectacular panoramic view of the Nichupté lagoon, which is illuminated with fireworks every night.
During the patriotic weekend, several of these restaurants add a Mexican touch to their cooking style and include different activities to celebrate. The following are some good examples to enjoy as a family:
- Harry’s: During the month of September, they include typical Mexican cocktails and dishes on their menu. Additionally, on September 15th, they hold the typical Mexican night with live mariachi, all framed by a great view of the Nichupté lagoon.
- CAO Marina Puerto Cancún: Offers a modern Mexican cuisine proposal that is ideal for spending the patriotic night. Located at the Marina of Puerto Cancún, here you will find mariachi music, fireworks, and a fun impersonator show.
- La Buena Barra: With a menu full of typical Mexican dishes from the north of the country, in this gastronomic corner with a view of the lagoon, you can enjoy an evening in the company of traditional mariachi, tequilas, and mezcals.
3. Party all night
Cancún is world-famous for its nightlife, and during the most Mexican night of the year, the party extends throughout the entire weekend. If you are looking to celebrate by dancing, the most well-known nightclubs and bars within the Hotel Zone are Mandala, Coco Bongo, La Vaquita, The City, and Palazzo.
4. Mexican night aboard the Jolly Roger pirate ship
Enjoy the celebration of Mexico's Independence in a big way and give "El Grito" under the rain of fireworks aboard the Cancún Pirate Ship. This concept offers a patriotic party in pirate style; without a doubt, a different experience on the sea with all the classic Mexican amenities (typical food, mariachi, and tequila) for an approximate cost of $1,500 MXN for adults and $750 MXN for children.
5. Party on the beach
The beaches of Cancún could not be missing from the list, since you can perform different water activities on them during the day, but they are also the perfect setting at night to enjoy the fireworks after the "Grito" ceremony. The following are some of the beaches that we recommend for their influx, quality of services, and ease of access:
- Chac Mool Beach
- Delfines Beach
- Marlín Beach
- Tortugas Beach
Tip: All these beaches are free to access and have local food vendors, but it is an excellent idea to prepare a cooler with your own favorite drinks and snacks to enjoy the day to the fullest.
6. Mexican party at an all-inclusive hotel
When staying at an all-inclusive hotel in Cancún, you have access to multiple services and amenities in one place: from shows, themed games on the beach, and special dinners, to entertainment in the pool.
For example, at Solaris Hotels we celebrate the patriotic month with the classic Mexican "kermés," which includes fair games, typical food, and traditional drink bars with tastings of different tequilas, the essential tacos al pastor, and buffets with Mexican dishes and desserts.
During the night of September 15th, we provide a Mexican folkloric show with the broadcast of the Cry of Independence, tricolor flags, interactive frames for souvenir photos, and the traditional piñata full of candy.
