Hispanic Heritage Month

September 16, 2021 - October 15, 2021

National Hispanic American Heritage month (September 15 – October 15) is celebrated to pay tribute to the generations of Hispanic Americans who have positively influenced our nation and society. The nation celebrates this through various events. We honor and celebrate the Latino community as a vital part of the Washington State Patrol. The Washington state Business Resource Group, Latino Leadership Network (LLN) is hosting several events to celebrate the month, as follows:

Tuesday, Sept. 28, noon – 1 p.m.

  • LLN member Nohemy Solórzano-Thompson will highlight a set of influential 21st century feature-length fiction films from Latin America, primarily focusing on cinema from Argentina, Brazil, the Caribbean, Chile, Mexico, and Venezuela. For more information, click here.

Thursday, Oct. 7, noon – 1 p.m.

Tuesday, Oct. 12, noon – 1 p.m.

You can start your celebration right now! The state Parks Department has cultivated a rich collection of cultural performances as part of the Parks Folk & Traditional Arts Program. Start your virtual Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration with the video performance of Trio Borikuas. They play Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Afro-Caribbean tunes with a focus on traditional styles.
