The holiday has been  commemorated in Mexico on that same date since 1925 as a celebration of the Children’s Rights Declaration by then Mexican President Alvaro Obregon and then Minister of Education José Vasconcelos.  It is primarily celebrated in schools.  And every school in Mexico celebrates the natural resource that children represent.  In that spirit, Floricanto has invited the Kawalea Polynesian Children’s Dance Group, the children of Kayamanan Ng Lahi, Tierra Blanca, the Lula Washington Youth Dance Ensemble along with The Floricanto Institute and Sandino Flores to participate and perform in Floricanto’s 2^nd Annual Día del Niño. 

This joyful production is the perfect family choice for celebrating our city's multi-faceted heritage. Bring your mom, your dad, your children and grandchildren and make this one of your own traditions in Southern California.
