In Mexico, children are loved and spoiled. This is evidenced by the fact that Mexican children have their own special day in the year — Children's Day (Dia del Niño), celebrated on April 30. Traditionally, on this day all children receive gifts from parents and relatives.
Large children's centers, theaters and gyms are preparing holiday programs for young visitors, the mandatory numbers of which are music, dancing, costume performances, and games.
Mexican children, like all children in the world, love to dress up and play outdoor games. Many children come to the holiday in national costumes and, of course, in sombreros! And for visitors under 12 years of age, admission is usually free.
Interestingly, in 1995, the National Museum of Mexican Art initiated the first major celebration in honor of Children's Day. The children's events organized by the museum this year were so popular that museum workers decided to continue the tradition and hold a children's party on a larger site. Since then, student volunteers and high school students have been involved in preparing the holiday.
But on this day, not only entertainment, but also socially significant events and charity events take place, mainly carried out by public organizations in order to raise money, toys, warm clothes, etc. for orphans.
