Hispanic Heritage Month is coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to celebrate. Originally established as National Hispanic Heritage Week in 1968 and expanded to a full month in 1989, this celebration runs from September 15th through October 15th every year. This month includes important dates for many Hispanic countries, including celebrations of independence for Costa Rica (9/15), El Salvador (9/15), Guatemala (9/15), Honduras (9/15), Nicaragua (9/15), Mexico (9/16), and Chile (9/18).
