WASHINGTON, D.C.  – The Hispanic Heritage Foundation (HHF) announces that the historic Hispanic Heritage Awards (HHAs) will take place at the venerable, 100-year-old, Warner Theater in Washington, D.C., on September 4, 2025.

The HHAs were established by the White House in 1988 to commemorate the creation of Hispanic Heritage Month in America and are recognized as “America’s Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration” and supported by 40 national, Latino-serving institutions. The HHAs recognize Latino accomplishment, vision, and cultural pride. (See HERE for a visual presentation about HHAs.)

The historic HHAs, broadcast nationally on PBS, are not only considered among the highest honors for Latinos by Latinos but honor excellence in a variety of categories and disciplines as community and business leaders, entrepreneurs, STEM-related impactors, educators, innovators, and youth stand alongside celebrities and cultural icons.
