'Flag Day, or ‘Día de la Bandera’ as it’s known in Mexico, is celebrated on February 24 every year, since it was first established. For those who did not know, the modern-day Mexican flag depicts an eagle atop a cactus, eating a snake. This fascinating emblem stems from an Aztec legend where this sight was witnessed by the Aztecs and taken to be a sign from the gods. As a result, they built their empire on that spot, and today, that spot is Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. Therefore this day is a celebration of national pride for Mexicans the world over, and we are thrilled to join in the celebrations too, as a sign of solidarity and appreciation for all the Mexican culture contributes.'

Note: This day is not a holiday in Mexico so businesses are open there. At the link there's
