Hispanic Heritage Month Events

September 15 - October 15, 2007

Each year, from September 15 to October 15, the United States celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month to recognize the economic, cultural, and social contributions of the more than 44.3 million Latinos residing in the U.S. The dates of Hispanic Heritage Month were selected to include the Independence Day celebrations of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Chile, and to incorporate October 12 – Día de la Raza – a holiday celebrated throughout Latin America to observe the colonization, exploration, and multicultural heritage of the Americas.
