Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated every year from September 15 to October 15, recognizing the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. It’s a time to reflect on the importance of community, celebrate traditions, and strengthen connections with loved ones.
Why is Hispanic Heritage Month celebrated?
The celebration begins on September 15, marking the anniversary of independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico celebrates its independence on September 16, and Chile on September 18. This month-long observance gives everyone the chance to honor the diverse cultural heritage and recognize the significant role Hispanic communities play in shaping society.
Traditions and culture
From vibrant music and dance to delicious food and strong family bonds, Hispanic culture is full of traditions that bring people together. Celebrations during this month often include cultural festivals, art exhibitions, concerts, and educational events that highlight Hispanic history and achievements.
