Epiphany - 6th January - twelfth night

Is there any official events for epiphany in the port? traditionally when the 3 Kings bring gifts to Jesus - thought I read that this re enactment happens in the square. Any information would be welcome.

The parade takes place on the night of the 5th, it usually starts at the military base at around 6pm and culminates in the square, it takes quite a while. Nothing much happens on the 6th .

Just to say - off to see Kings parade in Pollensa town and into Clivia after. With friends last night - some going to Alcudia and to Palma.
