Each year in Mexico, at the end of April marks an annual celebration revolving around children. Childrens day, also known as El Día Del Niño, is Mexico’s annual celebration of the significance of children in society. The community in Mexico spends this day with festivities, reflection, and honor of children. 

Historical Origins 
Children’s day can be traced back all the way to 1924, when President Alvaro Obregon signed the defunct League of ‘Declaration of the Rights of the Child’. The signing’s anniversary the following year in 1925 was on April 30th, marking the first annual Dia Del Niño. This act to recognize children’s place in society grew conciseness in the community regarding children’s rights. April 30th is a day to emphasize the rights and importance of children, the celebration evolving bigger with each year 

Festivities 
On Childrens Day the festivities are celebrated in schools, the community, and in families themself. If the celebration falls on a school day, schools still resume classes. Although, these classes are filled with activities rather than normal academic agendas. In classrooms students may recieve gifts, play games, and also exhibit their own skills such as talent shows. In the classrooms sometimes parents are even allowed to come and participate in these activities. When the day is not on a school day, children may enjoy outings at parks, zoos, and beaches. Public parks feature live performances, food stalls filled with sweet treats, and games for children and families to participate. Families are very important when celebrating this tradition, as it’s common for families to come together to make this celebration happen. These live festivities Mexico holds on children’s day highlights the significance of family and a supportive environment of children.
