El Museo’s cherished Three Kings Day Parade returns to the streets of El Barrio on Tuesday, January 6. This year’s theme, ¡Pa’lante, Siempre Pa’lante! (“Forward, Always Forward!”), is inspired by the legacy of the Young Lords and the enduring traditions of cultural resistance and mutual care in East Harlem.

Held in El Barrio (East Harlem), New York, the time-honored Parade will begin at 106th Street and Park Avenue and end on 115th Street and Park Avenue.
