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.)
