A cherished Epiphany celebration continues to bring joy, faith, and generosity to Little Havana families
In Little Havana, traditions aren’t just remembered — they’re lived, passed down, and celebrated together. This week, the Kiwanis of Little Havana Foundation once again brought the spirit of the Epiphany to life, marking 41 years of its beloved Three Kings Day toy distribution, a post-holiday tradition rooted deeply in Hispanic culture and community service.
A tradition that brings the Three Kings to life
Held on January 6 at the Kiwanis Club of Little Havana building, the annual event transformed a cultural tradition into a moment of real impact. Volunteers portrayed the Three Kings, personally handing out thousands of toys to children from local families, many of whom might otherwise have gone without during the holiday season.
For generations of Miami residents, Three Kings Day represents hope, faith, and giving — values that resonate strongly in neighborhoods like Little Havana. With the help of community volunteers, elected officials, and supporters, the Kiwanis of Little Havana Foundation ensured the celebration felt both festive and meaningful, closing out the holiday season with intention and heart.
Community support makes the magic possible
The success of this year’s event was made possible through the dedication of the Kiwanis of Little Havana Foundation, its club members, and generous sponsors including Louis Fonseca Productions, Kiko Hospitality Group, and First Service Residential. Their collective support helped create an afternoon filled with smiles, laughter, and unforgettable memories for families across Miami.
“For more than four decades, this event has reminded us that service, compassion, and community are at the core of our mission,” said Jorge Fernandez, Chairman of the Kiwanis of Little Havana Foundation. “Seeing the joy it brings to children and families makes all the work worthwhile.”
