“Honoring the Dream, Building the Legacy”
We are stepping into the 2026 MLK Celebration with BIG vision, BIG purpose, and a BIG challenge for our community — and we want YOU to be part of it.
� CALLING ALL CHURCHES, FAMILIES, BUSINESSES & ORGANIZATIONS
This year, we are aiming for 100 Parade Entries — yes, ONE HUNDRED — to fill our streets with pride, unity, and joy.
If you’re a dance team, marching group, civic club, fraternity, sorority, neighborhood crew, business, or ministry…
� This is your moment. Come build the legacy with us.
� AND VENDORS — WE NEED YOU, TOO!
Last year’s Family Day showcased over 50 incredible vendors…
This year, we’re going even higher.
If you sell food, art, accessories, crafts, clothing, beauty, books — or if you’re a nonprofit or small business looking to connect — this is YOUR platform.
Thousands of people come through the Event Center — let them meet YOU.
