Three Kings Day Celebration To Be Held In Hamden

From Town of Hamden

HAMDEN, CT — The Town of Hamden will host a Three Kings Day Celebration on Friday, Jan. 3 at 6 p.m. at Thornton Wilder Hall in the Miller Cultural Complex, located at 2901 Dixwell Avenue, in Hamden.

Día de Los Tres Reyes (Three Kings Day) is a global festive tradition in Spain, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and many Latin American countries and Hispanic cultures. This holiday, marked by reverence, honors a journey guided by light, bringing gifts of hope and unity.

Traditional celebrations include the act of gift-giving, an al fresco (outside) feast, and the culinary treat Rosca de Reyes (the king’s cake).

Please join us at Friday’s Three Kings Day Celebration, which will include fare from Ixtapa Grille, music by Orquesta Afinke, a special visit from the Three Kings, and discussion about the holiday.

The Three Kings Day Celebration is presented by Hamden’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Human Services and is held in cooperation with the Mayor’s Office.
