Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration
The City of Key West invites the community to join in celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, January 17th from noon until 4 p.m. at Nelson English Park at 300 Catherine Street.
The family-oriented celebration will include food, drink, games, and inspiring speeches, all culminating in a march in honor of the civil rights pioneer.

This nation’s elected leaders continue to be challenged to bring forward the realization of Dr. King’s dream unveiled 56 years ago, and to demonstrate that these leaders will work toward making the dream a reality by putting the needs of the people first.
