2025 Charlotte-Mecklenburg MLK Celebration

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. believed in celebrating and promoting the worth of every human being. In his pursuit of equal rights by nonviolent means, Dr. King encouraged diverse cultures to live together in a spirit of love, understanding and service to one another.

In that same spirit, the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, through their Community Relations Committee, came together to expand our community’s observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day through the Charlotte-Mecklenburg MLK National Holiday Celebration. Through these events, we celebrate those who are committed to carrying Dr. King’s legacy forward from generation to generation.

All events will be held rain, sleet, snow or shine! Please reach out to mlk@charlottenc.gov with any questions or concerns.  To view the list of events, click HERE
