It is no firework in the 3rd biggest plaza in the world. We are there now, it is dark and no any sign of celebration. we rented hotel in Zacalo, facing the major plaza, but no Firework!
Thanks, I enjoyed Mexico through your eyes. The Twelve Grapes (Sp. las doce uvas de la suerte, "the twelve grapes of luck") is a Spanish tradition that consists of eating a grape with each of the twelve clock bell strikes at midnight of December 31 to welcome the New Year. Each grape and clock bell strike represents each of the coming twelve months
We spent new years eve, but avoid the Zocalo. It's not really a thing to be there even though the internet says it's popular. We did see the fireworks, but it was closer to the angel. They were great, but not like New York or London.
We are on Zocalo now, in hotel facing the 3rd biggest plaza in the world and it is dark and empty! No even a sign of New Year Celebration!@@SQUEEZEtheDAY
Another great video. The Christmas decorations will be taken down after Epiphany, which also celebrates the Visit of The Magi who brought presents to baby Jesus (Matthew 2:1-12). In Mexico, this is the day children get their presents and toys. The tradition is that children write a letter to the Three Wise Men asking them for a toy or toys. The letter is place inside a shoe, then that shoe is placed under the Christmas Tree the night before Epiphany. The Three wise men will come at night and deliver the toys only if the children have been good and get good grades. After they've played all day with the new toys, the family would gather at night to cut the Rosca de Reyes (a sweet yeast bread in a circular form or elongated that has, randomly placed, little plastic boy figurines inside, everyone cuts his/her own slice). If one gets one of those boys, one has to make or buy tamales on February 2nd, for those gathered the night the Rosca was cut. Cheers.
Muchas gracias again, Alejandro. Great information here. We're loving that tradition. Especially the tamales. Helping little minds keep traditions strong.

Thank you so much for the explanation. What a beautiful tradition!
Thanks for the video! What is the name of the area where you ended up?
Roma Norte. Thanks for watching.
So where were the fireworks?!?!?
We never found the best spot to watch them. Next time we're there, we'll have to look around some more.
Did you end up spending New Year's Eve and watch the fireworks in Zocalo?

@@believeinmusicstudio574 right, not from the Zocolo. We will have to change that reply so people aren't confused.
How was weather pls and degree london guy here thank you
It was warm enough. We used light jackets, but it can get pretty hot during the day. We think you'd be perfectly comfortable there.
