Founders Glenn Mercer and Bill Million serve as songwriters, their twin-guitar attack providing the group’s infectious sound. Pairing Mercer and Million with driving drums and percussion has left an indelible mark on the landscape of rock and roll.

Kofi later went on to tour with John Ethridge of Soft Machine, Steve Waller of Manfred Mann and Randy California of Spirit.

“Mi familia y yo siempre esperamos con ansias la tradición de la celebración de Día de los Reyes, Three Kings Day, en ArtsQuest”, comentó Myrna Rivera, miembro de la Junta de Fideicomisarios de ArtsQuest y presidenta del Comité ¡Sabor! de ArtsQuest”. Aunque mi familia de PA se ha criado fuera de la isla de Puerto Rico, cada año nos reunimos con otras familias latinas y no latinas para recordar y enseñar a nuestros hijos (y a sus hijos) la tradición de los Reyes Magos. Sin duda, es una forma muy divertida de cerrar las fiestas”.

La celebración incluirá una lectura en vivo de “Los Reyes Magos”, tanto en español como en inglés, por los presentadores de La MEGA Radio y actuaciones musicales de Herencia Jíbara y la visita de Einstein the Camel, de 3:30 a 4:30 p. m.

Follow the Star to SteelStacks

11th annual celebration El Dia de Los Reyes, Three Kings Day announced for Sunday, Jan. 8 at ArtsQuest

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Gather up the family and plan to join the Three Wise Men in their quest to follow Bethlehem’s “Star of Wonder” to the ArtsQuest SteelStacks campus on Sunday, Jan. 8. The 11th annual cultural celebration, El Dia de los Reyes, Three Kings Day, will be hosted with media partners La Mega, Baby J Production, Sabroso Video and 69-WFMZ Edicion en Espanol from 3–6 p.m. Sponsored by B.

Braun Medical, PPL Corporation, Westside Hammer, Carlos Lopez, Latinos Affinity Group at Amazon ABE4 and US Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots program. This family-friendly event is free and open to the public.

“My family and I always look forward to the Three Kings celebration tradition at ArtsQuest,” said Myrna Rivera, ArtsQuest board of trustee member and chairperson of ArtsQuest’s Sabor! Committee. “Although my PA family has been raised outside the island of Puerto Rico, each year we gather with other Latinx and non-Latinx families to remember and to teach our children (and their children) the 3 Kings tradition. It certainly is a festive way to close out the holiday season.”

The celebration will include a live reading of “The Three Kings” in both Spanish and English by La MEGA Radio hosts and musical performances by Herencia Jibara and a visit from Einstein the Camel from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Delicious snacks by Holy Infancy Catholic Church will be available for purchase throughout the event.

“The Three Kings Day is a beautiful religious and cultural tradition particularly with Latino families,” said Iris M. Cintron, ArtsQuest’s Latin Programing Committee member. “Our son always got his box of grass ready for the camels the day before the Kings arrived. Now his children carry on the tradition.”

Three Kings Day, known as Epiphany or Theophany, is a Christian feast day in celebration of the revelation of God through his Son, Jesus Christ. Three Kings Day marks the end of the festivity filled “12 Days of Christmas” from Spain to Chile to Mexico that commemorate the journey of the Three Wise Men or Magi from the East, Gaspar, Melchior and Balthazar to Bethlehem to present the newly born baby Jesus with holy gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

“This annual event has become a wonderful tradition and it kicks off our 2023 calendar of concerts, classes, events and festivals,” said ArtsQuest President and CEO Kassie Hilgert. “We’re excited to welcome the community back in person to our campus for this family-friendly celebration.” Children will take a journey through the ArtsQuest Center, enjoying fun-filled activities including arts and crafts before meeting the Three Kings who will hand out toys.

“The excitement is still strong here in the City of Bethlehem, despite the USMT loss,” said ArtsQuest’s Chief Operating Officer Curt Mosel. “Thousands attended Lehigh Valley SoccerFest at ArtsQuest these past few weeks, demonstrating how important the sport is to our local community.”

Throughout this year’s cup, SteelStacks has been the Lehigh Valley’s only FIFA approved World Cup viewing location. Mosel explained that the free viewings were made possible due to various partnerships and sponsorships.

“We were able to provide this ongoing World Cup experience with the assistance of presenting partner Wind Creek Bethlehem, and in partnership with Lehigh Valley United (LVU), Lehigh Valley Health Network, Baby J Productions/Sabroso Video, La Mega Radio, Coca-Cola of the Lehigh Valley, KLYR Rum, Discover Lehigh Valley and WFMZ (Edición En Español) TV69,” Mosel said. “The support for showcasing FIFA World continues to amaze all of us who work behind the scenes to make the Lehigh Valley SoccerFest a success.”

“We can’t wait to welcome soccer fans back to SteelStacks December 18,” said Mosel. “Until then, I expect to see feverish fans like me watching the all the preceding action at Molly’s Irish Grille and Sports Pub in Bethlehem.”
