The Melbourne Mexican Festival is held each year on a weekend close to
Mexican Independence Day. As you can see from the video above it is a
bustling, festive occasion with a large range of Mexican food to choose
from. There is plenty of live Mexican music with areas set aside for
dancing and drinking. There is also a market with crafts and jewelry as
well as a Mexican art display in the Atrium. The festival also features the
traditional ceremony of ‘El Grito’ to celebrate Mexican Independence. White
Hat can recommend this as one of Melbourne's most spirited ethnic festivals.
