Although the 2020 event was canceled due to the pandemic, and a virtual event was held in 2021, last year’s return to a live event was well attended. This year’s activities include, among others, a DJ, strolling characters, opportunity to get engaged in a craft, a very energetic group of Zumba performers (with Down syndrome), an informal DOWNrightART exhibition (artists with Down syndrome), raffles and more.

World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), March 21st, is a global awareness day officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. Alexander’s Angels, an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization based in Jericho founded by the family and friends of Alexander Gomez-Nieto who has Down syndrome, has organized locally through the years a WDSD celebration. WDSD is, indeed, a very symbolic date as Down syndrome occurs when there are three rather than two copies of the 21st chromosome.
