Jewel-Osco will be hosting its 7th Annual “Sabor de la Herencia Hispana,” a series that celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month and gives back to Chicagoland’s Hispanic community.

Customers and the community will have an opportunity to experience Hispanic Heritage Month events featuring more than 20 vendors, prizes, fresh in-store recipes, cooking demonstrations, Spanish-language radio remotes and live mariachi performances.
