Celebrating Hispanic Heritage: dive into traditions, tastes, and cultural triumphs

Sep 9, 2024

Embracing diversity

Ready to celebrate Hispanic and Latinx cultures? Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15) honors those who have inspired others to achieve greatness. This month kicks off on Sunday, September 15, marking the anniversary of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua’s independence from Spain in 1821. Mexico and Chile celebrate on September 16 and 18, and Belize followed on September 21.

The flags of Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba serve as powerful symbols during Hispanic Heritage Month. These nations represent the first independent Latin American nations. This month also pays tribute to the history, culture, and contributions of ancestors from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

Celebrate by attending special exhibitions and programs at museums and cultural institutions. Check out local events like concerts, parades, festivals, and art exhibits. Ready to join in the festivities? Read on to learn more!

Shaping the future together

Curious about the theme for 2024? It follows the motto “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together.” This theme honors Hispanic history and looks to the future. Hispanic Star launched a 2024 Toolkit packed with messaging, data, and activities for the month. A downloadable Children’s Toolkit in Spanish and English for younger audiences featuring five fun lessons. This year also saw the Hispanic Star AI Announcement, a webinar designed to help businesses, brands, and individuals use unified messaging to reach a wider audience.

Ways to celebrate

Wondering how to get involved? There are plenty of fun ways to celebrate! Dive into Hispanic and Latino traditions like piñatas, Día de los Muertos, and quinceañeras.  Take a virtual or local tour of La Casa Azul, Frida Kahlo’s former home, or explore the Smithsonian’s Museum of the American Latino. Gather friends and family for a game of  Lotería, Mexico’s version of Bingo. Enjoy vibrant and uplifting movies like Encanto, Coco, or Vivo!

Cultural cooking

Looking to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with delicious cooking? Sunset offers recipes that introduce adventurous eaters to incredible new flavors. Try the bright blend of citrus, avocado, and pumpkin seeds in a Citrus Salsa, perfect for dipping chips or tacos. Homemade Corn Tortillas or Basic Tamales offer a tasty upgrade from store-bought versions. Slow-cooker carnitas are “best eaten with a Mexican Coke.” And definitely try Fried Plantains—perfect as an appetizer, side dish, or dessert with ice cream!

Symrise has been celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month for years. Explore dedicated stories that highlight and dive deep into Latino-American culture. How will you celebrate? Share your plans below!
