Three Kings Day
This family-oriented event held annually at the Kimmel Center in the month of January since 2014. Three Kings Day (called “Día de los Reyes Magos”) is a very important cultural celebration that takes place on January 6th. This tradition is based on a religious belief that honors the visit of the Three Wise Men (Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar) to baby Jesus, bringing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Just as Santa Claus brings gifts in other cultures, the Wise Men or Reyes Magos bring presents to children in Mexico and other Latin American countries. This event attracts over 400 attendees, mainly children, who enjoy a program with a variety of activities. During this event, children can write letters to the Three Kings, enjoy performances on stage, break piñatas and much more. All the attendees get to sample the famous Rosca de Reyes bread and warm Mexican chocolate.
