The Original MLK Day Parade

For Houstonians and visitors of the Bayou City alike, we are a thriving destination for cultural arts, entertainment and education that enhances the community while paying homage to our rich history. Join us as we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the federal holiday weekend with a commemorative parade and community activities throughout the weekend. Our parade is held in partnership with the City of Houston and the Black Heritage Society. Please note the parade will take place in the Downtown Streets near City Hall.
