Happy Hispanic Heritage Month

What began in 1968 as a week-long celebration was expanded to a month in 1988 and is now celebrated from September 15 to October 15. These dates are significant because many Central American countries celebrate their independence days within these dates, beginning on September 15 with Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

The month is often filled with cultural events like music and dance performances, art exhibitions, and festivals. It’s also a great opportunity to learn, reflect, and celebrate the traditions that enrich and shape our communities.

We’re Novato Proud to honor our Hispanic community members and recognize their vibrant histories, cultures, and contributions.

Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana

Lo que comenzó en 1968 como una celebración de una semana se amplió a un mes en 1988 y ahora se celebra del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre. Estas fechas son significativas porque muchos países centroamericanos celebran sus días de independencia dentro de estas fechas, comenzando el 15 de septiembre con Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras y Nicaragua.

El mes suele estar lleno de eventos culturales, como espectáculos de música y danza, exposiciones de arte y festivales. También es una gran oportunidad para aprender, reflexionar y celebrar las tradiciones que enriquecen y dan forma a nuestras comunidades.

Estamos Novato Proud (OrgullososDeNovato) de honrar a los miembros de nuestra comunidad hispana y reconocer sus vibrantes historias, culturas y contribuciones.
