To mark the occasion, the Mexican Consulate in Fresno invited dozens of Valley residents to celebrate at the University House on Van Ness Boulevard in Fresno.
In the mist of all the political and economic hardship in Mexico, from the war against drug cartels to immigration reform, Tuesday night was a night to set all that aside and just have a good time.
Reyna Torres, the consul of Mexico in Fresno said, "I think for all Mexicans, it's a once on a life time occasion, so we are taking advantage of the fact that we are here and can celebrate with friends and family."
The Mexican Consulate of Fresno says in the midst of a recession and a bloody war against drug cartels, Thursday's global celebration will lift the spirits of the Mexican people.
Mexican Independence Day is Thursday, September 16th and the celebration continues in downtown Fresno at the Fulton Mall through Sunday.
