The first major holiday of 2022 is upon us: Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Mon Jan 17). To help you plan, we’ve rounded up this year’s biggest events honoring the life and legacy of the Civil Rights leader, from virtual options like the Northwest African American Museum’s Martin Luther King Day Celebration featuring Nikki Giovanni to the 40th annual MLK Day Rally/March starting at Garfield High School.

King County Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration
Tune into King County TV for a government-organized celebration of our county’s namesake featuring as-yet-unannounced speakers and performers. This year’s theme is inspired by two influential quotes: MLK’s “The time is always right to do what’s right,” and James Baldwin’s “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
