Wait, what is Latinx heritage month? According to the smart people at Harvard University "Latinx Heritage started as a week-long acknowledgement... and has grown into a month-long celebration from September 15th through October 15th. These dates were selected to incorporate the independence days of Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Nicaragua."
The cities of Desoto and Cedar Hill are both providing excellent opportunities to celebrate and immerse yourself in the Latinx culture. And did I mention that they are both FREE? Check out the links and info below.
