Mexican Constitution Day, celebrated on February 5th, marks the signing of the Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos in 1917. In 2025, the observance will occur on Monday, February 3rd, providing a long weekend for celebrations across the country.
Drafted during the Mexican Revolution in Querétaro, the Constitution reflects the era’s push for social justice and has undergone hundreds of amendments to remain relevant while still shaping Mexico’s governance. It guarantees fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and petition while ensuring access to jobs, housing, and healthcare. Article 123 outlines workers’ rights and highlights the responsibilities of both citizens and residents in Mexico.
As a public holiday, most businesses, schools, banks, and government offices will close on February 3rd, allowing communities to enjoy parades, colorful costumes, and streets adorned with Mexico’s green, white, and red. Traditional foods, live music, and dancing will set the tone for celebrations steeped in joy and pride.
Here in Puerto Vallarta, the holiday is a time for festivities and an opportunity to reflect on the nation’s legal foundation, unity, and rich cultural heritage, underscoring the importance of safeguarding individual rights. https://banderasnews.com/
