Mexican Revolution Day

Mexican Revolution Day Description

Commemorates the start of the Mexican Revolution on November 20, 1910, when Francisco I. Madero called for an uprising against Porfirio Díaz's decades-long dictatorship. Civic parades featuring schoolchildren dressed as revolutionary figures, charros on horseback, and floats depicting historical scenes fill city streets. It is a day of national pride acknowledging the social reforms that shaped modern Mexico. Banks and government offices close nationwide.
