Joint Board Matter with Chairman McKay Request to Designate September 15-October 15, 2023 as Hispanic Heritage Month
Members of the Board,
Hispanic Heritage Month is an annual celebration of the rich history, culture, and diversity of the Latinx and Hispanic communities. The event, which spans from September 15 to October 15, commemorates the contributions and influence of Hispanic American communities to our society.
Hispanic Americans represent a vibrant and thriving part of our diverse Nation. In Fairfax, 16.24% of residents are Hispanic/Latino and 13.5% of households speak Spanish, in addition to English. We are very proud of the significant role that our Latinx and Hispanic communities play in our county. This is why I am pleased to announce that Fairfax will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with the event “Fairfax Fiesta.” This inaugural Hispanic Heritage celebration will be on Saturday, September 23 from 12pm to 5pm at the PARC at Tysons (8508 Leesburg Pike).
Fairfax Fiesta celebrates not only Hispanic culture but also diversity in our community. This free event promises a unique experience for all ages and backgrounds with cultural performances and entertainment, an artisan market
featuring handmade goods from local vendors, children’s activities, and delicious cultural foods to tantalize your taste buds. The festive atmosphere of this family- friendly gathering makes it ideal for creating lasting memories while learning about different cultures. Additional event details will be available soon at https://celebratefairfax.org/fairfax-fiesta/.
Therefore, I move without objection that the Board designate September 15 – October 15, 2023 as Hispanic Heritage Month in Fairfax County and that the Office of Public Affairs prepare a proclamation to be presented at the Fairfax Fiesta event on September 23, 2023.
