Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month
On September 10, 2024, the Board adopted the motion, Proclaiming Hispanic Heritage Month in Los Angeles County, celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, 2024. Throughout this month, the County of Los Angeles will continue its tradition of recognizing the contributions and achievements made by the Hispanic/Latino community, who make up approximately 49.5% of the total population in the county. This population has made remarkable contributions in every sector of society, including the arts, sciences, public service, education, and business, enriching our collective experience, and shaping the future of our communities.
Please join us in celebrating at the many events happening throughout LA County during this special month. For more events, please visit our webpage by clicking the button below.
