An American federal holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is observed on the third Monday of January each year. The upcoming MLK Day will be celebrated on Jan. 18, 2021.
Lexington’s MLK Day celebration begins with the Holiday Freedom March at 10 a.m. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the following changes have been made to the traditional Freedom March procedures.
To facilitate the safest marching conditions, the march line-up, with which you are familiar, will be temporarily discarded to ensure the maximum possible opportunities for social distancing.
As you arrive, all participants are encouraged to line up along High Street adjacent to the Central Bank Center (formerly Lexington Convention Center) in an orderly and physically distanced fashion, while wearing a mask or some form of protective face shield covering.
