The City of Pembroke Pines 16th Annual Mayor’s Kids Day, hosted by Mayor Angelo Castillo, is being held on Friday, June 20, 2025. This fun-filled day, presented by Baptist Health, takes place throughout the city where several businesses want to make Pembroke Pines Kids their VIPs by offering gifts and surprises for residents ages 15 and under. To participate, each child will need a Wristband from the Recreation and Cultural Arts Department. Preregistration in person is required with proof of residency to receive this free wristband starting on June 2, 2025. On Friday, June 20 the event kicks off with “LUNCH with the Mayor” 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. at Charles F. Dodge City Center, located at 601 City Center Way. This is a great time to meet and play with an entourage of celebrity Mascots like Cosmo from Bright Star Credit Union, Plato the Publixaurus, and a few others. This is also the time when 16 lucky kids will be chosen to be part of a raffle show before all participants venture off to find the local businesses and offers they have for the day.
