SANTA ANA...Each year, we observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15 by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of our community members whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Hispanic Heritage Month is an annual celebration of the history and culture of the U.S. Latino and Hispanic communities.

The event commemorates how those communities have influenced and contributed to U.S. society at large. Santa Ana's population is over 75% Hispanic/Latino, so we are going to highlight some of our favorite aspects of Hispanic culture in our city this month!
