This Thursday, April 30, we are celebrating El Dia de los Ninos by giving every kid a free churro and 50% off our kid’s menu.

El Dia de los Ninos, or the Day of the Children, is an annual holiday in Mexico that pays homage to kids and their importance in society. Started in 1925, it is a day full of fun festivities. In some schools, lessons are suspended for the day. Children enjoy games, music, and bring in their favorite foods to school to share with others. Some families also spend a day out with their kids. There are also special activities for children in parks and sports centers and some families give their children presents.

Here is what Wikipedia has to say about El Dia de los Ninos /The Day of Children in Mexico:

In Mexico, Children’s Day (“Día Del Niño”) is celebrated April 30. On this day teachers in schools organize the day for their children. In some schools, lessons are suspended for the day. They organize games, music, and the children bring in their favorite foods to share with others. Some families also have a day out with their children. There are special activities for the children in parks and sports centers. Sometimes, also, the children will be given presents by their families. This is the day when children are honored in Mexico.

Children’s Day in Mexico started in 1925. This celebration had its origins during the Álvaro Obregón’s presidential period after the country joined the Geneva Conventions and looking after the wellness of the vulnerable children affected by the World War I. Later, the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child was adopted on November 26 of 1924 by the League of Nations recognizing that children are the most affected by the war events.

United Nations recommended the 20th of November to celebrate Children’s Day throughout the world, but that day coincides with Revolution Day (Mexico). Also, the 30th of April was selected in order to avoid the 1st of May (Labor Day) and the celebrations of Cinco de Mayo (The Day of the Battle of Puebla).
