In addition, it's your chance to take in the rich heritage on display from our local Latinx community. National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15th to October 15th. While it’s crucial to lift up the voices, culture, history and contributions of the Hispanic and Latinx communities year-round, this designated month helps to spotlight the contributions made by; "American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America,” according to the official government website.

For more information on this free cultural event visit the Multicultural Family Center website here. You can also find more information from any of the designated sponsors above. Check out the festivities from last years event below!
