The annual 517 Hispanic Heritage Weekend takes place during Hispanic Heritage Month with a weekend of fun, education, and entertainment in the Downtown District of Michigan’s State Capital.
Every year, National Hispanic Heritage Month is observed from September 15th – October 15th through events, the celebration of culture, and educational opportunities. As Hispanic Heritage Month honors Hispanic and Latinx communities, Ourspace seeks to highlight the diverse cultures represented as Hispanic/Latinx in Michigan.
Connecting Hispanic-led organizations, initiatives, and businesses, Ourspace works as a bridge that supports the celebration of diversity, amplifies culture, and promotes economic growth for Hispanic communities in the 517 and beyond through the consumption of Hispanic history, art, cuisine, and much more. The 517 Hispanic Heritage Weekend seeks to honor and recognize all cultures and contributions of American citizens who originated or whose ancestors originated from Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and Spain.
Come out to Lansing’s Downtown this September for the largest display of Hispanic culture, art, music, food, dancing, education, and much more.
