Hispanic Heritage Month Starts Today!

Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated annually between September 15 and October 15.

The observance begins on September 15 because it is the anniversary of five Latin American countries’ independence day: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18, respectively.

This observance is celebrated across our nation and serves as an opportunity to highlight the contributions of Hispanic Americans.
