With more than 14 thousand attendees, Governor Libia Dennise García Muñoz Ledo led the civic-military parade of the Capture of the Alhóndiga de Granaditas on its 214th anniversary. This year it was noted for being a “Parade of the People.”
The Governor was present accompanied by her family and the municipal president.
At 9:00 a.m. sharp, the traditional flag raising and honors were held at the Flag Monument in Embajadoras, where the Chronicler of the city, Eduardo Vidaurri Arechiga, reaffirmed the conspiracy that led to the Capture of the Alhóndiga de Granaditas and the independence of Mexico.
The parade began at Embajadoras and continued through Sangre de Cristo, Plaza de las Paz, Avenida Juárez to Pardo and El Cantador garden, then the ceremony of the Renewal of the Symbolic Fire of Liberty took place in the Recinto de los Héroes de la Alhóndiga de Granaditas, scene of the first triumph of the army commanded by Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, which occurred on September 28, 1810.
