Today, one of every six people in Westchester County is of Hispanic or Latino origin. The growing numbers show us the importance of recognizing our wonderful diversity and doing everything we can to make our Hispanic and Latino residents feel welcome.

On Sunday, July 27 at the Kensico Dam Plaza, come celebrate the Hispanic heritage at the Hispanic Heritage Day Festival from noon to 7 p.m. Festivities include dancing, food, arts and crafts and special activities for the kids. Learn more about this event from the flyer, in English and en Español.

The Office for Hispanic Affairs is ready to help its residents of Hispanic and Latino origin integrate into the larger community. Recognizing that language and cultural barriers often prevent individuals from getting what they need, the office aims to develop, promote and increase service and assistance programs. Director Martha Lopez-Hanratty serves as a liaison and is available to answer any questions.
