What’s Happening at Día de los Niños?

Then, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM, don’t miss a special treat: a free live performance by the Grammy and Latin Grammy Award-winning duo, 123 Andrés. It’s the perfect way to wrap up an exciting afternoon!

Andrés and Christina are award winning music duo 123 Andrés. Published by Scholastic, their bilingual books — Hola, Amigo (Hello, Friend), Ten Little Birds (Diez Pajaritos) — and more connect the performance to reading and writing skills. Their catchy songs introduce musical styles and instruments along with geography, social studies, and Spanish and will get the whole audience dancing, singing, and learning!

“Day of the Children/Día de los Niños is an internationally established celebration of children with the goal of connecting families to the world of learning through stories, cultural and arts activities, and community,” Amy Handra, CAPA Director of Education and Engagement, said. “We are excited to once again participate in this international movement committed to the welfare of all children.”
