San Antonio, ¡Viva Hispanic Heritage with AARP!

Join AARP San Antonio as we proudly celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month! This annual observance is a time to recognize and honor the rich histories, vibrant cultures, and countless contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities whose roots trace back to Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

This year, AARP San Antonio is excited to offer fun, engaging experiences that celebrate the richness of Hispanic heritage. From online cooking classes that bring families together to prepare traditional dishes, to the 12th annual Celebrando con AARP, our events are designed to honor tradition while creating new memories. You’ll find opportunities to explore genealogy, dive into online creative arts and crafts, and enjoy music and dance. Whether you're joining us virtually or in person, there’s something for everyone to enjoy and connect with during this month-long celebration.

Throughout the year, AARP San Antonio offers events, experiences and opportunities to connect with others in-person and online. Visit aarp.org/local to find events in your area.
