Earlier this week, Lindo Mexico, a Wyoming, Michigan restaurant with a keen focus on community development, as well as presenting some of the tastiest sit-down Mexican food in our region, kicked off its annual Dia del Niño/Children’s Day celebration -- and the crowds were record-breaking.
While there were some who were not able to attend Dia del Niño/Children’s Day, there will be another chance for celebration this Saturday. More than 40 area organizations and businesses are banding together at Cesar E. Chavez Elementary (1205 Grandville Ave. SW) to create
an event that is predicted to welcome more than a thousand parents and kids to celebrate this life-affirming holiday: Dia del Niño (Children’s Day).
This event, brought to us through a partnership with LINC UP -- a community development agency of our city -- and the Grand Rapids Public Schools seeks to celebrate all the children of our city at this day-long celebration.
Organizers are planning on having a bounce house, food, raffles, prizes, live entertainment, face painting, a photo booth, and a host of community resources with tables at the event to connect citizens to local services.
If you have never attended a Dia del Niño/Children’s Day, then this is your weekend to change that as all are welcome at this wonderful, community-organized event.
