The Global Village Welcome Center at the International Marketplace is hosting an exhibit to show off the clothes, art and toys from 21 different Latin American countries. It's one of many things happening in Indy this Hispanic Heritage Month.

It’s celebrated annually from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15.

“I was born in Mexico, raised in Los Angeles and then I moved here to Indianapolis when I was 13 years old,” said Daniel Del Real, the curator for this exhibit.“We can say that every one of these countries, there's people in this neighborhood or in Indianapolis that are from those countries,” Del Real said.

“We get a lot of very different reactions when people see things from their country. For instance, in the past we had Venezuelan bills on display and one gentleman from Venezuela came in and he started to cry when he saw the bills,” Del Real said. “We have food from all over we have a lot of customers from a lot of nationalities,” said Estephany Vasquez, a manager at the grocery store. She said they have food from at least half a dozen different countries.
