The official holiday falls on September 16th, but Lubbockites are
already celebrating this Mexican Independence Day. It's the day that
Mexico got it's independence from Spain.

This year marks Lubbock's first ever Fiestas Patrias celebration.

When I lived in San Antonio many decades ago Cinco de
Mayo and Dies y Seis were always bigger events than Fourth
of July and Veterans Day. Everyone got along fine, everyone
celebrated their own holidays their own way.

Why is that a problem for you?
