Kids Music Day is celebrated annually on the first Friday of October, with this year's observance on October 3. The day aims to inspire children to incorporate music into their lives, highlighting its academic and social benefits. Activities often include making, playing, or listening to music, which can uplift moods, alleviate stress, and enhance concentration among kids. The event was founded by Keep Music Alive, a non-profit organization, to encourage children to enjoy music as a hobby and potentially pursue it as a profession. Initially started in the United States, Kids Music Day has expanded to some locations in Canada, promoting the value of music in education and personal development.
