Children's Day is observed in Vanuatu every July 24 as a public holiday established by the Committee on the Rights of the Child. Initially celebrated only in the capital, Port Vila, the holiday has expanded to all six provinces of the country. The main themes of the day are “Stop violence against children” and “Give a child the chance to express their opinion today.” Celebrations typically include a festive march in the morning, followed by official speeches, concerts, and sports competitions. Schools, churches, provincial administrations, and local organizations actively participate in the preparations for the event. While some parents give presents to their children, the primary focus of the holiday is to encourage families to spend quality time together.
