One of the highlights will be a grand parade featuring local leaders, community groups, and schools, all coming together to commemorate Dr. King's contributions to civil rights and social justice. Participants will showcase vibrant floats, music, and performances that reflect the spirit of unity and hope that Dr. King championed.
In addition to the parade, various community service projects are scheduled throughout the day.

Educational programs will also be held, emphasizing the importance of understanding civil rights history and the ongoing fight for equality.
These events aim not only to celebrate Dr. King's legacy but also to inspire a new generation to continue advocating for justice and equality in their communities.
