Mayor Proclaims September 15 – October 15 To Be Hispanic Heritage Month In Appleton

During the 09/15/2021 Common Council meeting Mayor Woodford noted that on Saturday, 09/11/2021, he had attended an event at Pierce Park where he had presented the Hispanic Heritage Month proclamation. In other years, this would have been Latinofest, but this year Casa Hispana reimagined it as Vacunafest and held a vaccination clinic at Pierce Park.

The proclamation itself proclaimed September 15 through October 15 to be Hispanic Heritage Month in Appleton, and the mayor called “upon residents to reflect on and honor the traditions and countless artistic, scientific, political, and cultural contributions of all Hispanic residents.”
