Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month
In order to recognize National Hispanic Heritage Month, we thought this would be a great time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of Hispanic Americans and how we can help support our St. Louis, Missouri, Hispanic communities. Greater St. Louis Hispanic Festival This annual event is one of the largest Hispanic celebrations in the St. Louis area that shares the colorful and rich Hispanic culture. With Hispanic folk dancers, over 50 vendors, live music, delicious foods and beverages, and so much more, you are able to experience the true Hispanic culture right before your eyes. This event will take place at Soulard Park on September 24-25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information regarding this exciting event, check out HispanicFestivalstl.com. RECOGNIZING THE ST. LOUIS HISPANIC COMMUNITY
How You Can Help the Hispanic Community Volunteering, donating, supporting, or even just advocating for our Hispanic community makes all the difference. It brings awareness and a better appreciation for their contributions to our city. Here are a few ways you can get involved to help local Hispanic communities: Understanding Cultural Differences It is important to know which specific cultures exist in your community, and generally speaking, most Hispanics and Latinos value family, youth, cultural art, food, and music within their cultures. With this knowledge, there are ways to incorporate those aspects in projects, programs, and meetings to create a welcoming environment. Donate to Organizations that Support Hispanic Communities There are many organizations in St. Louis that support the Hispanic
community, such as the Hispanic Leaders Group of Greater St. Louis and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan St. Louis. But there are plenty of others, too! Most of these organizations’ goals are to improve business opportunities, unite the diverse Hispanic community, and present their voice to the larger society. Support Local Food Vendors and Food Trucks Food is a significant part of the Hispanic culture. It is a way to express love and passion while unifying friends and family. Most food vendors rely directly on sales to provide for their families, so if you’re looking to go out for dinner, stop by one of their trucks and support their business by enjoying their delicious meals. We are very thankful for our Hispanic communities here in St. Louis and will continue to support and advocate for them to strengthen their voices.
