Endorsed by Toronto's Mayor John Tory and recognized by international organizations such as [UNICEF](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-to-move), the day is meant to promote love, peace and friendship among children of all different backgrounds. This year, the children's festival will be held in Toronto's Nathan Phillips Square, just outside of City Hall. During the festival, children from different communities will come together to put on shows, dances and concerts. The festival will also include fun-fair activities such as face-painting, balloon-sculpting, clowns, popcorn and cotton candy stalls. There will also be a [multicultural art show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessfest) designed to showcase the vast cultural diversity found in Canada. The event not only celebrates International Children's Day, but also promotes an exchange of cultural and ethnic traditions in Toronto. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multicultural Celebration:** Opportunity for businesses to create events that celebrate diversity and promote cultural exchange in various communities. - **Child-focused Entertainment:** Opportunity for businesses to provide unique entertainment experiences that cater specifically to children of diverse backgrounds. - **Cultural Art Shows:** Opportunity for businesses to organize art shows that showcase the uniqueness and diversity of cultural traditions in local communities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Event Planning:** Businesses in this industry can leverage multiculturalism celebrations to provide unique experiences for customers and boost their brand image. - **Entertainment:** Businesses such as amusement parks, family entertainment centers, and cultural art centers can benefit by creating events and activities for multicultural celebrations. - **Education:** Educational institutions can leverage multiculturalism events to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion by creating unique cultural immersion experiences for students and faculty. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Free Neighbourhood Public Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabbagetown-festival.md) - [Whimsical Outdoor Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foffys-wonderland.md) - [Maple-Themed Canadian Traditions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-shack-to.md) - [Summer Waterfront Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torontos-harbourfront-centre.md) - [Cultural Waterfront Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterfall-festival.md) - [Kindness-Promoting Local Business Markets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kindness-market.md) - [Communal Festive Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-in-the-patch.md) - [Toronto Fashion Music Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modecanadarocks-spring-equinox.md) - [Festive Hotel Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breakfast-with-santa.md)
