Join us for festive fun with the three kings and more at the 25th annual celebration! Make and decorate a crown, enjoy lively and traditional Mariachi youth performers and folklórico dance, delight in gifts (chocolate coins) handed out by the kings, and learn how to make real tortillas. Plus, share your talents during our “Open Mic” sessions.

El Día de los Tres Reyes Magos one of most popular events of the year – mainly because of one individual who continues to dedicate himself to helping coordinate this yearly celebration. Arturo Medina recruited and led in the original Advisory Group more than 25 years ago and remains the main force behind the Tres Reyes event today. Read more >>
