Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated every year from September 15 - October 15th. These dates are significant as the Independence anniversaries of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. The independence celebrations of Mexico, Belize, and Chile also fall within this period.
This is an important opportunity to recognize the many contributions of the Hispanic/Latino community to the development of the United States, as well as celebrate and honor the rich history, culture, and traditions of these resilient groups of people.
