2019 MLK CELEBRATION
Our historic MLK Celebration is renowned as one of the first national tributes of its kind. First held in 1972, it attracts an estimated 30,000 attendees each year.
Last year, nearly 700 MLK Business & Professional Breakfast tickets were sold to business and community leaders of all levels. Last year, 131 bands, marchers, floats, and groups marched in the MLK Parade as an estimated audience of 3,000 cheered them on and NBC WCBD News 2 covered the event live.
