Minnesota Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates culture and contributions

by Shay Scanlan | City Reporter | Published Oct. 8, 2025

National Hispanic Heritage Month brings people together across Minnesota to celebrate the vibrant cultures and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities.

The month spans from Sept.15 to Oct.15, but Addy Gonzalez, executive director of the Minneapolis Arts and Cultural Affairs Department, said she celebrates the accomplishments of the community every day.

Hispanic Heritage Month was signed into law in 1988 as a way to celebrate the independence of different countries in Latin America. Hispanic refers to individuals who come from a Spanish-speaking country, whereas Latino refers to those born in or who have ancestors from Latin America. 

On Sunday, the second annual Minneapolis Latino Business Week kicked off.
