Chandler Contigo – “Chandler with you” in Spanish – is our local celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. This annual observance is held from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 and honors the rich histories, diverse cultures, and vital contributions of those whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Each year the City of Chandler offers celebratory events at various locations, including Chandler Libraries. Read on to learn more about our featured events!
