Hispanic Heritage Month in the current year starts in the month of September and goes on till October. For a period of just over four weeks, from September 15th till October 15th, communities all across the United States will set aside some time to acknowledge the history and culture of Hispanics and Latinos, and the various contributions they have made to society.
The dates are not arbitrary; September 15 is associated with the independence of five Central American countries and therefore form a significant basis for the celebration.
