Harlem Bespoke: The 45th Annual Three Kings Day Parade went virtual for 2022 so we looked back at a decade of photos taken for the blog on the big holiday event that traditionally marches through street of El Barrio this time of year.
El Día de los Reyes is the Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus in Latin countries and tradition has it that those children who leave their polished shoes under their beds (in preparation for the arrival of the kings of Europe, Arabia and Africa) will receive gifts the next day. In Puerto Rico, the custom manifest itself as leaving hay in a box under the bed to feed the camels. The Three Kings Day Parade has been a tradition in El Barrio since 1976 and continues as a virtual event for the first time starting in 2021.
