In partnership with local organizations Casa Monarca and Juntos, Philadelphia's Magic Gardens will celebrate El Día del Niño, the holiday for children. The Garden's Latin American ties stem from Isaiah and Julia Zagar's continued interest in the region's folk art as well as PMG's respect for the large Mexican community in its neighborhood. "We really wanted to do something that would honor their culture and provide them something to do with their families," says executive director Ellen Owens. The free event will include piñata-making, refreshments from El Zarape, Piripitin the Mexican clown, bilingual tours and more. Sun.,
Aug. 8, noon-5 p.m., free, Philadelphia's Magic Gardens, 1020 South St., 215-733-0390, phillymagicgardens.org.
