Hispanic Heritage Month, running from September 15 to October 15, is a vibrant celebration of the history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. This month-long observance honors the rich tapestry of cultures that make up the Hispanic community, from music and art to historical achievements and social progress. Hispanic Heritage Month does not cover one single month but instead begins in the middle of September and ends in the middle of October.
