What is the Hispanic Heritage Celebration?
Hispanic Heritage Month is observed annually from September 15 to October 15, during which the community honors the cultures and contributions of both Hispanic and Latino Americans. The GWHCC will be spotlighting Hispanic and Latino business leaders within our membership throughout the month-long celebration with our #CelebratingHispanicBusinesses social media campaign.
Why Celebrate Hispanic Heritage?
Hispanic Heritage Month is an official celebration of American citizens whose ancestry can be traced back to Spain, Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean. It also pays tribute to the generations of Hispanic Americans who have positively influenced and enriched our nation and society.
The festival now lasts from September 15 to October 15 every year, but it first started out as just a week long celebration of in 1968. Twenty years later, in 1988 it expanded to dedicate a whole four weeks for the celebration of being Hispanic.
