History, Art & Culture

Hispanic Heritage Month

Joining communities across the state to celebrate the cultures and contributions of our Hispanic/Latinx neighbors.

September 15-October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month, and we are proud to join communities across the state to celebrate the cultures and contributions of our Hispanic/Latinx neighbors. Join us for events that highlight the diversity, beauty, and traditions of the many cultures and people of Latin American descent in Massachusetts.

Story Walks

During the months of September & October, four of our properties will feature children’s books that celebrate Hispanic and Latinx heritage, families and cultural practices written by critically acclaimed Latinx authors and illustrators.
