Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month in Houston with AARP

Posted on 09/04/24 by Jackie Gil

Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, is a vibrant and enriching time to honor Hispanic and Latino Americans' histories, cultures, and contributions.

Hispanic and Latino cultures are incredibly diverse, encompassing many traditions, languages, music, dance, and art. There's much to explore and appreciate from Mexico's colorful festivals to Spain's passionate flamenco. Many have significantly contributed to various fields, including politics, science, art, and sports. From Supreme Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor to Physical Chemist Mario José Molina-Pasquel Henríquez. Also, Latino traditional dishes are beloved worldwide. From tacos and tamales to paella and empanadas, the food is a delicious way to experience and celebrate these cultures.
