Celebrate MLK Day 2026 in Baltimore
Martin Luther King Day is on Monday, January 19th
On this day we honor the life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as he bravely led protests and marches, travelled across the United States to preach and support racial equality in areas of injustice, and inspired activism with his “I Have A Dream” speech. Dr. King was a pivotal player in the fight for civil rights throughout the 1950s and 60s in America, and we honor his commitment on this day with parades and community events that continue to uplift Dr. King’s message of racial equality for all.
Here’s how you can celebrate American civil rights activist and changemaker, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in Baltimore this weekend:
