Hispanic Heritage Month, observed from September 15 through October 15, celebrates the histories, cultures, contributions, and experiences of Hispanic and Latino communities.
While many of us are familiar with the observance itself, Hispanic Heritage Month can also be an opportunity to step outside our routines and experience something new. That experience might be as simple as trying a new restaurant, reading a book by a Hispanic or Latino author, exploring a cultural tradition, attending a community event, or learning about a leader whose contributions have shaped our world.

There is no right way to participate. Explore at your own pace and in ways that feel meaningful to you.
🍴 Never tried Hispanic or Latino cuisine? Consider visiting a local restaurant, food truck, market, or bakery and discover what may become your new favorite dish.
🖼️ Curious about art? Explore the work of Frida Kahlo.
🎶 Interested in music? Listen to Celia Cruz.
💪 Looking for stories of leadership and perseverance? Learn about Dolores Huerta, Sonia Sotomayor, or Ellen Ochoa.
Sometimes a single story, song, meal, or idea can open the door to a deeper appreciation of the cultures and experiences that enrich our communities.
