The Wichita community kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month Sunday afternoon at Exploration Place.

Hundreds of people attended Fiesta Hispana, an event for people to explore different foods, music, and performances from different countries in Latin America.

Christina Bluml, who works at Exploration Place, says the event was a great way for the community to get together and learn about each other.

"We appreciate everybody in our community and again this is really about celebrating our diversity in our community and helping others understand that," said Bluml.

Bluml says the event celebrated all of the Hispanic cultures. She says it was a great turnout.
