Known to the locals as Fiesta de los Reyes Magos, the Three Kings Day falls on the 6th of January every year. The day commemorates the visiting of Baby Jesus by the Three Kings after his birth with gifts. The festival is marked by parties that are open for one and all, occurring on the streets and neighborhoods of Puerto Rico.
Parrandas, or Christmas carols can be heard ringing through the streets as children leave small gifts and candy in the hope of bigger gifts, which they receive the next day! Churches in the San Juan area reenact scenes from the Nativity of Jesus, much to the fanfare of the local crowds.
Fun things to do: : Sing parrandas in the street, watch a reenactment of the Nativity at a church, enjoy a street party
