Children's Day is celebrated in Cuba and Venezuela on the third Sunday in July. This holiday is known to be one of the happiest occasions of the year for children in these countries. The tradition of celebrating Children's Day may predate Mother's Day and Father's Day, with its first recorded international observance occurring in 1925 during the World Conference for the Well-being of Children. The holiday was established at a universal level in 1954. While many countries observe Children's Day on June 1, Cuba and Venezuela have chosen their specific date for celebration. Festive activities typically include visits to amusement parks and zoos, and children receive gifts and sweets from their parents. The joy of this holiday often leads children to compare it to their birthdays.
