Sponsored this week by The Club @ Islas del Mar
¡VIVA MEXICO! September is known throughout the country as the most patriotic month of them all “Mes de la Patria”, with the grand celebration of Mexican Independence Day topping the festivities on the night of September 15th. To add to the red-white-and green fervor, several bars and restaurants in town will be showing the highly anticipated Canelo (vamos Mexico!) vs. Golovkin fight. So, get out and enjoy this Independence Day weekend ¡VIVA!
Of interest: September 16th will also include the Mayor’s 3rd Annual Address, and swearing in of the incoming city administration, with Mayor Kiko Munro having won reelection in July.
