According to the Wikipedia article about the day it is celebrated on a variety of different days around the globe depending on whether you are celebrating International Children's Day or Universal Children's Day (I wonder if some day there will be an Intergalactic Children's Day as well, just to use yet another all-encompassing superlative).

on Earth Day (22 April) the Mayan Theatre offers free admission to two screenings of the documentary Food, Inc. at 7 and at 9 p.m.
