Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month: Denver Summit FC Community Guide

¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana! Denver Summit FC is proud to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month, from September 15th to October 15th.

September 15th marks the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on Sept. 16 and Sept. 18.

Hispanic and Latin communities have long shaped the culture and history of Colorado, enriching our neighborhoods with traditions, diverse cultures, and a shared love of fútbol. At Summit FC, we believe in the power of sport to bring people together. This month, and throughout the year, we celebrate the heritage that continues to inspire strength, unity, and pride across our community.

Celebrate with us by supporting local latino-owned businesses, cultural events, and organizations that make our community shine!
