Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and District 2 City Commissioner Tony Ortiz are set to host the 18th annual Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration on Thursday, October 3, 2024. The event aims to celebrate the diverse cultures, traditions, achievements, contributions, and history of the Hispanic and Latino community.

This year's theme is "Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together," which honors Hispanic trailblazers who have made significant contributions to their communities.
The City of Orlando expresses pride in dedicating this month to Hispanic heritage and recognizing pioneering individuals who have inspired others through advocacy.
