And that gives us a chance to look at the colourful celebrations you have held on this special day across South Tyneside in previous years.
We have great archive photos from Hebburn, West Boldon, East Boldon, the Riverside Children’s Centre and Ashfield Nursery.
There’s lots more as well in this series of photos taken from the Shields Gazette archives.
Take a look and see if you can spot someone you know.
