Join us in recognizing National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15 by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. 

The heritage month starts on the 15th to acknowledge the independence day anniversaries of  Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, all of which are on the 15th. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18, respectively.
