Children's Day is an internationally recognized holiday proclaimed by the World Conference for the Well-being of Children in 1925. Nearly 30 years later, in 1954, it was established as a universal holiday by the UN General Assembly.

Throughout Armenia, Children's Day honors young ones and the protection of their human rights. On June 1, Armenia's streets and public parks are typically filled with festivals and entertainment for children and their parents. Activities include educational games, plays, chess and soccer matches, and concerts.
