MLK JR. HOLIDAY PARADE

Doing What’s Needed

Thanks to you and the thousands of patrons who lined the streets to watch, last year’s King Holiday Parade was a success.

We are most appreciative to previously registered participants for your support for past parades. This is our special invitation to you to be an important part of this year’s parade as well. Your participation is needed in order to equal or surpass last year’s event.

As your King Holiday Parade planners for over 40 years, we have worked diligently to make this event inclusive of all races, creeds, and religions. The number of parade participants and on-lookers suggests that we have been successful.

OPENING CEREMONY AND

SILENT MARCH

Tackling the Issue

The silent march is held in the style of the early civil rights movement marches, beginning at about 9 AM on the morning of the King Holiday. It proceeds from the Freedom Center west on NW 23rd to the Oklahoma History Center just east of the state capitol building. At that location, it is followed at 10:45 AM by the Bell Ringing.
