39th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Celebration

You are invited to advance the vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This is one of the oldest and largest celebrations in the nation. Events will be hosted across the state, inspiring Minnesotans to create personal, social, and economic progress. Dr. King wisely said, “Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?” A good first step is to plan on attending, then invite your neighbors, family, and friends.

This closing celebration will include community leaders and inspiring performances by Billy Steele and Fellowship Baptist Church, Jamecia Bennett, and KNOWN MPLS. Dr. Yohuru Williams will Emcee and host a fireside chat by revered elders Josie R. Johnson, Reatha Clark King and Dr. Stacie Stanley. Come meet new and old friends, listen to inspiring stories, feel the joy of music, and leave with energy for action. This event is limited to 1900 people, and the event will be broadcast by TPT. Support our beloved community. Register in advance to save time at the door.

All events are being hosted by the State of Minnesota and the Governor’s Council on the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday.
