About Placita Latina
Hispanic Heritage Month, Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic-Americans, who hail from the 30+ countries and territories that make up Latin America. Communities all over the US mark the achievements of Hispanic and Latino Americans with festivals and educational activities.
In 2021, a group of local Hispanic/Latinx residents/professionals/friends came together to propose a colorful, cultural, and historical series to be held throughout this special month.
The result is Placita Latina, a fun-filled, festive schedule of “mini-events” that highlight Hispanic/Latinx performance, food, and culture that all take place in Decatur, GA.
