Celebrating Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month

Date: September 22, 2023

We're excited to announce the beginning of Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month, which runs from September 15th to October 15th. During this special time, we celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of Hispanic communities all around the world.

This celebration, also known as National Hispanic Heritage Month, initially started as Hispanic Heritage Week when it became law through President Lyndon Johnson's signature in 1968. In 1988, it was expanded from a week-long event to a month-long celebration, observed annually from September 15th to October 15th.
