Celebrations to kick off month-long celebration in the region will take place over three weeks across the Lehigh Valley in support of local Latino restaurants.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2022 – LEHIGH VALLEY, PA – As organizations throughout the region prepare to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month beginning next week, The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of the Lehigh Valley (HCCLV) announced today that it will present Latino Restaurant Week LV as it seeks to promote Latino cuisine throughout the Lehigh Valley.

Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated nationally from September 15 through October 15 in recognition of the achievements and contributions of Hispanic American champions who have inspired others to achieve success.

“The Hispanic Chamber is proud to celebrate our Hispanic Heritage all month long,” said HCCLV Board Chair AJ Suero. “This year’s series of Latino Restaurant Week celebrations will shine a spotlight on the places and spaces that bring joy to our community by giving life to the flavors of our Hispanic culture.”

Latino Restaurant Week LV will be celebrated in three major cities across the area:

Bethlehem: September 15 – 23 (Kickoff Week).

Allentown: September 23 – 30 (to coincide with the 2022 Pennsylvania Latino Convention); and

Easton: September 30 – October 7

“Not only will this initiative highlight our Latino restaurants and delicious food all throughout the Lehigh Valley, but it will also give an economic boost to the small restaurants in our community,” said Danielle Joseph, Executive Vice President, Diversity Councils of The Chamber.
