Hispanic Heritage Month takes place September 15 to October 15 every year as a time to recognize and celebrate the many contributions, diverse cultures, and extensive histories of the American Latino community. WHY DOES HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH START IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH? September 15 was chosen as the kickoff because it coincides with the Independence Day celebrations of five “Central American neighbors,” — Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Those five nations declared their independence from Spain on September 15, 1821. Other Spanish-speaking nations have anniversaries close to those dates as well. Mexico– our neighbor– declared independence from Spain on September 16th, 1810. Chile did the same on September 18th, 1810.
