Students celebrate Latine heritage with annual march up Bascom Hill

Every September, students at the University of Wisconsin–Madison kick off Latine Heritage Month with a march up Bascom Hill. The event is a chance for all UW students to celebrate Latine culture, make new connections and greet old friends. For the first time, the march concluded with a mercadito, or small market, that featured crafts, delicious snacks and games. The event was organized by the Chicanx/e & Latinx/e Studies Program in collaboration with ChiLaCSA, the Latine Heritage Month Committee and the Wisconsin School of Business Multicultural Center.
