Epiphany (Jan 6) Celebrated in Uruguay?

[MarkBearSF]

I believe that Epiphany, the celebration of the Three Kings on January 6 is a big deal in Mexico

Is it celebrated to that extent in Uruguay and Argentina?

 

We'll be on the Celebrity Infinity visiting Montevideo on that date and wondering if there's anything special (or if we have to worry about businesses being closed).

OK - I did some googling. It IS a big holiday in the area. (Because of the date, it shows up first in most lists of Uruguayan holidays.)

 

Still interested from anyone on the impact. Are there any festivities we'd enjoy and should make plans for? (However, we're not religious and I'm a lapsed Catholic, so a church service would probably not be a biggie for us). And conversely, what will likely be closed or unavailable?
