RSVP for Celebracion de Tres Reyes

Expand

Every January, Centro Hispano hosts a celebration of the Three Wise Men who attended the birth of Jesus, a Spanish holiday also observed in Mexico. This year the traditional gathering can't take place as usual, due to COVID-19. Initially planned as a drive-through event featuring toys for kids ages 12 and under, Centro has transitioned the toy distribution to a delivery model. Sign up begins at 8 pm on Jan. 13 on Facebook or at the event page on the Centro website, while supplies last.

press release: The Tres Reyes Celebration has been an important and long-standing free community event hosted Centro Hispano of Dane County (Centro) for many years. The agency usually welcomes 500+ children and their families to Centro for the traditional festivities which include eating traditional roscas, face painting, photos with the Three Kings …and of course a free gift for every child to leave with.

UPDATE: Concerns about community safety and accessibility prompt Centro to shift Annual Tres Reyes Celebration on MLK Day from DRIVE THRU to DELIVERY event

Although Centro initially planned to host a DRIVE THRU event this year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the agency has since shifted to a DELIVERY model out of concern that a Drive Thru event would put families at increased risk of exposure to COVID as well as to make the event accessible to all children, regardless of their transportation status. Families can sign up their children to have a gift delivered to them between starting at 8pm, January 13^, through Centro’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/centro.hispano.5/ or at the event page at micentro.org.
