Hispanic Heritage Month begins on September 15 and coincides with the commemoration of Independence Day in Central American countries such as Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Chile and Mexico.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that “During Hispanic Heritage Month we celebrate the Hispanic communities whose contributions are vital to New York’s economy and culture. This is my promise to our nearly four million Hispanic and Latino New Yorkers: we will always work to encourage and support you. New York United!”

As part of the proposal, a total of 28 events organized by community organizations and cultural institutions are carried out and their objective is to spread diversity, folklore, gastronomy and culture.
