What is Hispanic Heritage Month?
Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 - October 15 each year in the United States. The celebration begins in the middle of the month because September 15 marks the anniversary of the independence of five countries: Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. It is followed by Mexico's Independence Day, September 16, and Chile's, September 18. Click here to learn more.
