Valentine's Day Celebration in Mexico

Valentine’s Day in Mexico is celebrated on February 14th as in other countries. It is a holiday and undoubtedly a time to express your feelings and affection for your loved ones. But Mexicans believe that showing affection should not only be confined to Valentine’s Day but it should be made a perennial process. The Mexicans value traditions and any ritual that is related to love.

People of all ages can participate in the Valentine’s Day celebrations in Mexico. This is because this is a day not just for the lovers but for all the loved ones in your life and the ones who matter to you the most- your parents, siblings, friends, and extended family. For this reason this day is also known as “El Dia del Amor y la Amistad” or the Day of Love and Friendship.

Gift shops are decorated and all of a sudden you will find more red roses on the stacks of the florists. Heart shaped gifts adorn the shelves of the shops and the online florists take orders and are on their toes throughout the day and a couple of days leading up to Valentine’s Day.

There are other ways in which this day is made special and the person whom you are taking out is also made to feel special. Ballroom dances, parties, and get-together are common.
