January Events

January 1st - New Year's Day

A national holiday and a day of celebrations, parties and festivals.  Many people also use this day to sleep off the partying from the night before!

Dia de los Reyes Magos (Epiphany) - January 6th

This is the day that gifts are traditionally exchanged as it represents the day that the Three Kings arrived at the Nativity to give their gifts to the baby Jesus.

This is also a day when Rosca de los Reyes (King's Loaf) is served, a round, doughnut-like cake, which contains a little plastic doll somewhere inside.  By tradition, if you are served the slice that contains the doll, you must host a party on Dia de la Candelaria in February.
