September 15 marks the official start of Hispanic Latino Heritage Month, a month long celebration of the traditions, customs, and cuisines from the beautiful countries of Mexico and Central and South America. Here at the Market, we're proud to celebrate and highlight our Latino owned businesses, the vibrancy they bring to the Market and the many delicious Latin specialties our restaurants and grocers have to offer. See below for a curated guide of the best Latin and Latin inspired dishes to enjoy all month long.

And, to kick off the celebration, chalk artist, Monica Orozco will be designing a chalk art mural in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. Come by the Plaza between September 15 - October 1 to enjoy this beautiful artwork!
