January 6th is always a special day in Spanish Harlem. The neighborhood comes out to celebrate Three Kings Day with a wonderful parade organized by El Museo Del Barrio that goes right down the heart of 106th Street. There’s great music from jazz to to Afro-Peruvian to drumlines, colorful costumes and giant puppets, cute kids galore, and yes, even a few live camels make the trek. Despite the chilly temperatures, the January weather doesn’t dampen the festive spirits one bit.
