The Three Kings Day Parade is an annual celebration in New York City that commemorates the most festive day of the winter season in Latin American culture. The celebration is designed to pay tribute to the day that the three kings came to visit baby Jesus. Every year on this day the streets of East
Harlem fill with barnyard animals, children and plenty of music.
Traditionally, the roles of the three kings within the parade have been played by famous figures within the community. It is the job of the three kings to lead the parade throughout the streets of New York City. There is typically a time of celebration scheduled for after the parade that includes dancing, music and storytelling.
