MLK Day Parade

With the safety of the community in mind, the MLK parade previously planned for Saturday, Feb. 6, in downtown Tallahassee has been postponed due to the current forecast for consistent, heavy rain. The new date for the event will be announced as details are finalized.

While the community celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is on hold, there are many ways residents can still celebrate Dr. King and Black History Month. The City of Tallahassee offers historical sites, online exhibits and more to help everyone experience the rich, local African American culture and legacy. Additionally, many of these sites can be explored virtually. Visit YouTube.com/CityofTLH to watch documentaries about these sites, as well as biographies of prominent, local African Americans.
