From Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, the United States recognizes Hispanic Heritage Month, a celebration of the culture and historical contributions of people from, or whose ancestors came from, Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, or Central or South America. The monthlong observance is an opportunity to honor the culture and contributions of the Hispanic community and Latinos across all sectors of U.S. life.

The Sept. 15 start date was chosen to align with the independence anniversaries of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, followed by Mexico’s independence day on Sept. 16 and Chile’s on Sept. 18.
