Celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month in North Carolina. In addition to the many events around town marking the month-long celebration, there are other ways to appreciate the richness of the Latino culture. Mecklenburg County alone is home to about 148,000 Hispanic residents, many of whom prefer to be referred to as Latino or Latinx.
