Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15th through October 15th each year celebrating the history and contributions of individuals who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Spanish-speaking nations of the Caribbean.
Hispanics/Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic group in the U.S. and play a major role in shaping our economy and society, making up 18.7% of the U.S. population. In Virginia, Hispanics/Latinos make up 10.6% of the state's population and in some cities already make up about 40% of the residents. Over the next two decades, the U.S. Census estimates that the Hispanic population will double in the state of Virginia.
The Virginia Hispanic Chamber, the Virginia Hispanic Foundation, and its partners will host several events for the community to explore and learn about Hispanic/Latino culture. We hope you can join in on the festivities and please be sure to check back for further updates on upcoming events.
