Yonkers Insider: City of Yonkers: HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH.

 

Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 to October 15.  It is a time to appreciate and celebrate the colorful cultures, rich histories and diversity of the American Latino Community.  

September 15 is set as the starting date because it is the independence anniversary for Latin American countries from El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras.  The independence days of Mexico and Chile fall on September 16 and September 18, respectively.
