 Each year, Americans celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15th – October 15th. These dates encompass the independence days of several Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Mexico.
The month-long celebration recognizes and honors the history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.
