In Mexico, Irish Immigration has been insignificant, but people recall the involvement of the San Patricio Battalion during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), when hundreds of Irish immigrants, deserters of the US Army, joined Mexico to fight against American troops. The celebration takes place on the ancient temple of Churubusco, where the Churubusco Battle (Aug 20, 1847) took place. People usually wear green clothing to commemorate it.


Also, since 2016, a parade has been organized annually between the Irish Embassy and the local government of Mexico City. It includes music, dance and food. It however, doesn't have the extent or importance found on celebrations from other cities with higher Irish populations, such as Chicago or NYC.
