Constitution Day
The Constitution Day honors both the signing of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787, and a celebration that began in 1940 as "I Am an American Day." The Constitution Week includes special naturalization ceremonies across the country, reflecting on what it means to be a U.S. citizen.
Three Kings Parade
The Cabalgata de los Reyes Magos is a unique tradition in Madrid where the Three Kings, Melchor, Gaspar, and Baltasar, ride through the streets in royal carriages, accompanied by pages and other characters, distributing candies and gifts to children. The procession ends with a speech by the Kings and a fireworks display at the Plaza de Cibeles.
