Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month in CLT
September 15-October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month, a celebration of the culture, contributions and achievements of the Hispanic community. This celebration begins each year on September 15 and 16, as that marks Independence Day celebrated across Central America and Mexico. There is still much work to be done in the pursuit of equity and equality, but Hispanic Heritage Month offers a space to share and honor the history of determination, solidarity and the continued march toward freedom for those that identify as Hispanic.
Today we are sharing different events throughout the Charlotte area that help celebrate Hispanic culture over the next month. Read about the events and activities happening around town and join in on the celebration!
