Almost 13,000 people packed Penn’s Landing to enjoy everything about that beautiful country down south and celebrate Mexico’s independence.
"Yes, it’s very beautiful to see a lot of children, a lot of grown-ups to come and enjoy this party and for this new generation to know more about all our different countries," said Velazquez.
"Oh it’s amazing! it’s nice to see different people and also, like, how they dress and the culture. So it’s pretty cool and I’m also into trying different foods!" Oleg Smek, from Ukraine, said."Oh it’s fantastic we love Mexico and the food has been great. So I got a pineapple drink that had a lot more going on with it before until I got it down to this, but it was delicious. Very refreshing and a little spicy too!" said Peter Kasabach, of Trenton, New Jersey.
"We are friends, we are partners, we are allies - Mexico and United States. Of course we share a big border, a long, long border that unites us rather than divides us, " said Carlos Obrador Garrido, the Consul of Mexico.
