Hispanic Heritage Month is a 30-day month-long celebration of Hispanic and Latino history and culture is celebrated annually from September 15 to October 15. In 1968, it began as a weeklong celebration under President Johnson, and 20 years later in 1988, President Reagan expanded it to a full month. 

The date of the celebration is historically significant, as many Central American countries commemorate their independence days within these dates with Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. (September 15 - Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras; and Nicaragua; September 16 – Mexico; September 18 – Chile; September 21 – Belize).
