African Heritage Month in Honduras primarily celebrates the arrival of the first Garifunas, who are descendants of West African, Central African, and indigenous Caribbean people. The month-long celebration aims to honor their history, culture, and contributions to Honduran society. It involves various cultural activities, including traditional dances, music performances, art exhibitions, storytelling, and educational events. While the making of tamales and the dances of Honduras might be part of the broader celebrations, they are not the sole focus of African Heritage Month. The recreation of the posadas is more associated with Christmas celebrations in Latin America.
