Three Kings Day, or El D?a de los Reyes, is a holiday celebrated around the world by various cultures as a way to remember the Wise Men, who brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to honor the baby Jesus. Community leaders, including Osceola County and Kissimmee commissioners, portrayed the Wise Men. Entertainment included magicians, clowns and musical groups.

There were appearances by Orlando Magic Community Ambassadors Nick Anderson and 'Bo' Outlaw, and Stuff, the team's mascot; and the Knight and Princess from Medieval Times Dinner Theater. Organizers expected Saturday's attendance to exceed last year's crowd of 4,000.
