After skipping two years, for obvious reasons, a beloved holiday tradition is back in the streets of East Harlem-El Museo del Barrio's Three Kings Day Parade and Celebration, which is now in its fortysixth year. Some revellers show up dressed as the wise men, but there are other Biblical trios: look for fresh faces self-styled as la Sagrada Família (pictured above, in 2020). Everyone is welcome to join the hour-long procession, which begins at 11 A.M., on Jan. 6, but registration, via elmuseo.org, is required.
