Dear Friend,

Today kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month!

Orlando is home to one of the largest Puerto Rican communities in the country, along with Venezuelan, Colombian, Mexican, Cuban, Dominican, Central American families, and more who have built their lives here.

There is no Orlando without you.

Check out this new video that local filmmaker Hector Santiago (@retrorewinds_vhs on Instagram) created for us from Orlando’s 2026 Puerto Rican Day Parade.

And scroll down for local events marking Hispanic Heritage Month.

Onward,
