Three Kings Day Parade & Community Celebration
Celebrated by Hispanics all over the world Three Kings Day (El Dia de los Reyes), also known as Epiphany, is the last official day of the Christmas Season—or the 12th day of Christmas, as the song goes—commemorating the three Magi (Gaspar, Melchior and Balthazar).
According to an old legend based on a Bible story, these three kings saw, on the night when Christ was born, a bright star, followed it to Bethlehem and found there the Christ child and presented it with gold, frankincense and myrrh. On the night before El Dia de los Reyes, Hispanic children may leave their shoes near their beds before going to bed, many times filling them with hay for the kings’ camels in the hopes that a present would be left behind for them from the Three Kings.
Celebration of the day may include parades with camels, family gatherings and big meals. For dessert, they may eat the Rosca de Reyes – a crown-shaped sweetbread decorated with candied fruit. Inside the sweetbread, there may be one or more figurines of the baby Jesus and whoever finds the figurine is supposed to invite everyone to his or her house for Candelaria – the last celebration of the Christmas season.
El Museo del Barrio in New York City is celebrating the day:

The Three Kings Day Parade in the largely Hispanic neighbourhood of East Harlem New York is organised by Latin museum of art El Museo del Barrio. It starts at 10am from the corner of 106th Street and 5th Ave and terminates at 106th St and 5th St. The parts of the three kings are usually played by local community celebrities and figureheads, who lead the parade for a good two hours around ten or 12 city blocks. The walk is followed by a programme of storytelling, music and toy distribution
