PASCO, Wash. – Families gathered at Memorial Park in Pasco for a celebration of children and books at the Día de Niño y Los Libros event.
The event featured books, crafts, activities and fun for children of all ages. Over 30 agencies and organizations from all over the Tri-Cities attended, providing resources and giveaways for families.
The event is based on a Mexican holiday called El Día del Niño or Children’s Day that officially started in 1924 to set aside a day to celebrate Mexico’s children.
For those who missed the Pasco event, Mid Columbia Libraries is sponsoring two Día de Niño y Los Libros celebrations in Prosser and Connell on May 5th and 6th, respectively. These events will offer similar activities and resources for families.
