The third Sunday of July is “Child’s Day” in Panama. In Spanish it’s called, “El Día del Niño”. It’s a big day in the calendar for the Panamanian family. On this day, parents take their kids out to the parks and engage in all kinds of children’s games.
El Día del Niño is heavily promoted by the Panamanian Government in an effort to keep the spirit of the nuclear family alive. It’s like a mini Christmas in our country. All our parks are flooded with children of all ages, doing what they like best—play!
Activities actually started on Friday, 15 July 2011, there will be activities at the Omar Recreation and Cultural Park in Panama City for all children. The event, entitled "A Fantasy of Stars - Giving Dreams To The Boys And Girls of Panama" will start on Friday and end on Sunday, 17 July 2011. During the course of the event there will be different shows with clowns, magicians, folklore and pet shows. Besides the shows, children can also play for free on the baseball and basketball courts, inflatable jumping areas and rides. The schedule of the fair is from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday, 15 July. On Saturday and Sunday the fair will be open from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. This event has been organized by the Office of the First Lady. (Telemetro)
