Every Hispanic Heritage Month, McDonald’s acknowledges Hispanic Americans’ heritage and celebrates the diversity within our country while recognizing the valuable role Hispanics play in shaping the nation's history and future.
Also, there‘s a long tradition among Hispanics to use murals as canvases for celebrating the culture, history, stories and identities of Latinos.
In 2023, the Albuquerque-El Paso McDonald’s Coop created a virtual experience where users could immerse themselves in the artistry of this street art by blending into custom murals inspired by the rich cultural tapestries of these two densely Hispanic-populated cities.
