Description

The Community Consortium for Cultural Recognition is proud to host the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Community Celebration on Monday, January 19, 2026 at 10 a.m. as we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

This year’s MLK Day of Service is themed Mission Possible: Moving, Building, Uniting. This free, all-ages event provides multiple age-appropriate spaces for our community to reflect on Dr. King’s teachings through volunteerism, advocacy, and uplifting marginalized voices. Together we will engage with pressing local issues, explore practical solutions, and work toward systemic change and community wellbeing.
