Welcome & Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Culture
Cultura
15 September through 15 October is the observation and celebration of Hispanic history and culture. The contributions of this diverse cultural fabric are woven together by the Spanish language. The richness of the customs, flavors, arts, music, and dance are evident in a cultural landscape that embraces multiplicity. This year we will celebrate Hispanic art and film, with a particular focus on Cantinflas.
