Caribbean Heritage Month is an annual observance held in June that celebrates the rich culture, history, and contributions of Caribbean people and their descendants.
The month-long celebration aims to raise awareness and appreciation for the diverse traditions, languages, music, food, and art that originate from various Caribbean countries. The recognition of Caribbean Heritage Month dates back to 2005 when it was first proclaimed by the United States Congress. It was later officially designated by the U.S. president in 2006. The observance provides an opportunity to acknowledge the immeasurable impact of Caribbean immigrants and their descendants on the United States and the world.
