Founder's Quotes

“The parade is part of local King Week events, which include the Martin Luther King Jr. Technology Summit, two church services, the Young Dreamers Awards Program and the MLK Scholarship Awards Banquet.”

“The event typically draws thousands of spectators. I think this one [MLK Parade 2024] will be the largest spectator crowd we’ve ever had, based on the phone calls I’m getting.”

“Just 13 entries took part in the first parade in January 1982. The first parade was so pitiful that I had some friends say, ‘We need to help you.’ The parade has come a long way nearly 45 years.”

– Wendell P. Williams, Founder

Join the parade!

The parade will be held in downtown Las Vegas at 10:00 am where the community will be gathered to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the 42nd annual birthday parade.

Services, leaders, and much more!

The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Committee will provide a variety of entertainment, including floats, exotic vehicles, marching bands and dancers. Public officials and representatives of area nonprofit organizations are expected to participate.

The 2024 theme is “Living the Dream – Together We Make The Dream Work.” The parade will begin at Fourth Street and Gass Avenue, and travel north on Fourth Street to Ogden.
