10 Places to Visit Across the US in Celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month

Celebrated from September 15th to October 15th, National Hispanic Heritage Month is a way to highlight the many historical and cultural achievements of the Hispanic and Latinx populations in the United States. National Hispanic Heritage Month started in 1968 under President Lydon Johnson as Hispanic Heritage Week and in 1988 President Ronald Regan extended it to a month-long celebration.

Today, there are festivals and community events across the country that mark the important month-long celebration — as well as museums, national parks and lively neighborhoods that can be visited year-round. From Miami to Los Angeles, consider visiting these 10 sites across the United States during Hispanic Heritage Month and beyond.
