Business, Community, and Government Leaders Join Nashville Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for Official Kick-Off of

National Hispanic Heritage Month

The Nashville Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (NAHCC) and NAHCC Foundation officially kicked-off National Hispanic Heritage Month, last Sunday, September 15, at the 2024 Upper Cumberland Hispanic Heritage Festival.


The NAHCC announced its month-long calendar of events made possible thanks to the support of members and corporate and community partners.


Since 2005, the Nashville Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (NAHCC) has been leading the most extensive and inclusive celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, spanning from September 15 to October 15.

The 2024 Upper Cumberland Hispanic Heritage Festival took place at Dogwood Park in Cookeville, Tennessee, on Sunday, September 15.


Running from 11 AM to 5 PM, the festival was free and open to the public, drawing hundreds of attendees to celebrate the vibrant arts, music, food, dance, and cultures of the diverse Hispanic and Latino communities.


Families and individuals enjoyed cultural booths offering delicious ethnic cuisine samples, live musical performances, dynamic dance showcases, and cultural arts exhibitions. The Kid's Zone featured bounce houses and fun activities for all ages.



As part of our official Hispanic Heritage Month kick-off, normally held in Nashville, the Nashville Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce partnered with Hip Cookeville, the festival organizers, now in its third year. We proudly brought a special proclamation from Governor Bill Lee to this event to symbolize the growing presence of the Hispanic community across Tennessee.
