Overview

Three Kings Day at the Kimmel Center it’s a free event that celebrates a meaningful holiday in the Hispanic community and provides an opportunity for all residents in the city to participate in this tradition.  Attendees will enjoy an evening of fun activities and surprises such as Mexican hot chocolate, traditional “Rosca de Reyes” bread, the reenactment of the tale of the Three Kings, and the breaking of piñatas for the youngest family members.

Three Kings Day is the final celebration with which the 12 days of Christmas end (January 6). It is believed that on January 6, the Three Kings/Wise Men — Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar — presented baby Jesus with symbolic gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

El “Día de Reyes” en el Kimmel Center es un evento gratuito, en donde se celebra una festividad muy importante para la comunidad hispana y ofrece una buena oportunidad para que todos los residentes de la ciudad participen en esta tradición. Los asistentes disfrutan de una tarde de actividades divertidas y sorpresas como chocolate caliente mexicano, la tradicional Rosca de Reyes, recreación del cuento de los Reyes Magos y rompimiento de piñatas para los más pequeños de la familia.

El Día de Reyes es la celebración final con la que se terminan los 12 días de Navidad (el 6 de enero). Se cree que el 6 de enero, los Reyes Magos — Melchor, Gaspar y Baltasar — obsequiaron regalos simbólicos de oro, incienso y mirra al niño Jesús.
