The annual Three Kings Day Parade returns to El Barrio on Tuesday, January 6.

El Museo del Barrio's one-of-a-kind Three Kings Day celebration returns to the streets of East Harlem on Tuesday, January 6.

The 48th annual parade, a vibrant stream of giant puppets, live camels, and music and dancing that winds its way through El Barrio, features the theme ¡Pa’lante, Siempre Pa’lante! (“Forward, Always Forward!”)—inspired by cultural legacy of the Young Lords and their mission of community care.

The festivities begin at El Museo starting at 8:30am, including a breakfast with the parade's honorary kings, madrinas and padrinos, and elected officials. RSVP here.

The procession itself kicks off at 106th Street and Park Avenue at 11am, then makes its way east to Third Avenue, ending at Park Avenue and 115th Street at noon.
