"Ages 5 and older $20 This holiday favorite uses traditional Latin American Christmas songs to tell the story of the year in which, rather than following the Star, the Three Magi decided to use GPS. This leads them not to arrive at Bethlehem of Judea, but at the home of Jesús Rodríguez, a kid in the Barrio Belén of Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico."

Three Kings Day, or Epiphany, falls on January 6 and commemorates the visit of the Three Wise Men. The holiday is especially prominent in Hispanic, Spanish, and Latin American cultures and centers on gift-giving, shared foods, and family gatherings. Traditional Rosca de Reyes contains a small hidden doll and prompts communal sharing and follow-up celebrations. New York City hosts community events for families, including library craft workshops, theatrical retellings with Latin American music, bilingual children’s musicals with arts activities, and museum artmaking that focus on giving and cultural traditions. Many activities are free or low-cost and cater to a range of ages.
