Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated each year by Americans from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. It starts September 15 because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18.

To help celebrate and learn a little more about Hispanic heritage, businesses all over Phoenix are hosting virtual events. Below are some events you could join throughout the month.
