Baltimore Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade will not be held this year
BALTIMORE — The Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade will no longer be held, the Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts (BOPA) announced Thursday.
While the event is cancelled, BOPA is still encouraging Baltimoreans to celebrate the holiday in their own way.
"Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service. So, to honor Dr. King — and follow his example — we encourage all Baltimoreans to participate in this year's National Day of Service on January 16, 2023, by signing up to volunteer with a local, regional, or national organization.," BOPA said.
MLK day volunteer opportunities for other events can be found by visiting the Americorps website.
