The Local Council of the National District (DNA) announced the suspension of the parade of the three kings that the firefighters organize every January to thank the children.
The measure was adopted to comply with the provisions of Decree 740-20, issued by President Luis Abinader to control Covid-19 infections.
“Due to the provisions established in decree 740-20 issued by @presidenciard, the traditional parade of magicians carried out by our @bomberosdn is suspended”, indicates a short notice published by DNA and the Fire Department of the National District.
It is recorded for the first time that this tradition, which this year would celebrate its 73rd anniversary, is suspended.
Last year, hundreds of children and adults gathered at the National District Fire Department, the headquarters of the activity, to participate in the traditional parade and see Melchor, Gaspar and Balthasar up close.
