dence Day in September, and the Day
of the Dead in November.
For the past couple of years, the
Three Kings Day celebra
tion has attracted about
1,000 participants, she
said. About 70 percent of
those who attend are His
panic, she said.
This year, the celebra
tion is scheduled for the
afternoon of Sunday, Jan.
5, and will be held at the
Atlanta History Center
in Buckhead. Admission
is free. Children 12 and
younger who attend will
be given small presents,
food and tickets to a raffle
for larger presents, such as
bicycles — “the shiny, sassy
fun things when you go
to Walmart,” she said.
The celebration includes performanc
es by Mariachi musicians and folk danc
ers, and an appearance by the three
kings, Gonzalez-Lamberson said. “We
actually have the three
kings there,” she said.
“Each family gets to take
a photo with the three
kings.”
The goal is to work to
keep Mexican traditions
alive among families now
living in metro Atlanta.
“Part of what we do is
to keep traditions alive,”
she said. “We live in a so
ciety where there is as
similation. As genera
tions continue, traditions
become morphed. But
our mission is to contin
ue those traditions and to
continue to talk about the
importance of those traditions — what is
behind it and why.”
