"Día de la raza" is the Spanish equivalent for Columbus Day. It's celebrated in many countries in the Americas, commemorating the date of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World on October 12, 1492. Some countries also call it "Hispanic Day" (Día de la hispanidad)

It is the Day of the Race. In spanish Día de la Raza.
In Latin America it is NOT celebrated anymore. In Spain they do celebrate it and it is called Día de la Hispanidad.
It is celebrated the 12th of October - Columbus Day.

In latinamerica it is celebrated on Oct 12. Im Mexico , my country, it is not a big celebration any more. The schools are not closed that day, and we don´t have any special food for that day.
