Three Kings Day Event To Be Held In West Haven

WEST HAVEN, CT — The city’s Three Kings Day Celebration is scheduled from 1-4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 7, at West Haven’s Elks Lodge 1537, 265 Main St.

The free cultural event is presented by the city and Budget Transmission Center and Car Wash.

Festivities will include music, refreshments and toys — and a visit by the three kings, of course.

Toys are distributed to West Haven children on a first-come, first-served basis.

Three Kings Day is a tradition in Spanish-speaking countries.

The holiday, observed on Jan. 6, marks the arrival of the three kings — Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar — in Bethlehem. The Magi, or wise men, brought gifts to the infant Jesus at Epiphany.
