Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated every fall from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. We’re proud to join Comunidades Latinas Unidas en Servicio (CLUES) Saturday, Sept. 13, at Fiesta Latina to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month.

Fiesta Latina is a free, family-friendly community festival celebrating Latino heritage through arts, health and wellness, food, and entertainment. You can learn more about the event and view the schedule here. We will be there to share information about Meals on Wheels and offer fun prizes to attendees who play our Plinko game.

Another way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month is by supporting Latino- or Hispanic-owned businesses in the Twin Cities. Check out this great list of local businesses compiled by Meet Minneapolis.
