BELLEVILLE, NJ – Mayor Michael Melham and the Township Council invite residents to come celebrate Three Kings Day on Monday, Jan. 6, 2020.

The first 200 children will receive a gift.
There will also be games, crafts, face painting and a magician on hand.
“Since this is the first time we are commemorating this holiday across the township, we want this to be a special day,” Melham said.
“We are going to create a fun, festive atmosphere with something for kids of all ages.
“I would like to recognize and thank Deputy Mayor Vincent Cozzarelli and Councilwoman Naomy DePeña for taking the lead on this event,” the Mayor continued.
