Latino Heritage Month (until October 15) is a time that recognizes the many contributions and significant influence that people of Latinx heritage have made to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its establishment by a group of pobladores from Mexico in 1781, Los Angeles in particular is home to a wealth of Latinx heritage and history. Below are some ways to celebrate, honor, and experience Latinx culture and tradition in the City of Angels, both this month and any time of year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

History <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Head to downtown Olvera Street for a rich slice of history. Often referred to as the birthplace of Los Angeles, the tree-shaded, brick-lined block is home to some of L.A.\u2019s most historic buildings, as well as dozens of Olvera Street shops, restaurants and other businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you’re there, be sure to check out El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument<\/a>, a living museum that’s located near the site of the early Los Angeles pueblo, where 44 settlers journeyed more than a thousand miles across the desert from present-day northern Mexico and established a farming community in September 1781. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat, Drink & Chill in East Los Angeles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From street vendors to family-owned markets, you will find some of the best Hispanic food in East L.A., one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods that has a lineage of culture that can be found in its shops, businesses, and community. Check out the full list that L.A. Tourism and L.A. Taco compiled here<\/a> along with some mouthwatering highlights below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
