National Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month is celebrated annually from Sept. 15 – Oct. 15. This is a month-long celebration and recognition of the history, culture, and contributions Hispanic and Latino individuals and communities have contributed to the United States. According to the 2020 U.S. Census Data, nearly 500 Bedfordites, or 3.5 percent, of Bedford residents identified as being of Hispanic or Latino origin.
There are many ways to observe National Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month. Across the country, there are festivals, art exhibits, lectures, concerts, and more. Bedford Hispanos Unidos in conjunction with the Town of Bedford Recreation and Parks Department is excited to host a Hispanic Heritage Celebration this year at the Bedford Hills Train station from 12-5pm. See you there!
