EVENT DETAILS:

ARRIVAL: 1:00PM. The area will be crowded, so please include time to find parking and walk to the staging location. Note: The parade formally begins at 2:00 PM, so early arrival is required. There are street closures beginning at 1:00 PM, so feel free to arrive earlier. 

LOCATION: Our assigned line-up placement will be at the light near the Bagel King Bakery, 668 W. Kennedy Blvd. Orlando, FL 32810. This is labeled as "DIGNITARY STAGING" on the attached parade map. The parade travels east on Kennedy Boulevard from Keller Road to West Avenue through the heart of the wonderful small town! Our exact lineup number will be sent out in an additional email. 

PARKING: Parking can be time-consuming! It may be helpful to allocate extra time for arrival if you have not participated before. It is recommended by parade organizers and the Town of Eatonville to park at the Denton Johnson Community Center which is near 400 Ruffel St. Or you may park at the Hungerford School. Nearby street parking will be available in various areas around. Please bike or carpool, if possible as traffic and road closures will be going on! If you are coming from the Orlando MLK Parade, you need to enter Eatonville by going on Lee Rd to Edgewater Dr to Forest City Rd, then turn right on W Kennedy Blvd.

ATTIRE: Wear comfortable clothing and shoes! You may wear Team Anna gear or blue clothing AND no political or campaign messages are allowed.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:

We all march for different reasons, but we march for the same cause: to defend our rights and our future.

This year, we invite you to join us at the Dr. King Parade in the Historic Town of Eatonville as we walk in celebration of Dr. King's life and the values he championed. Together, we will march to honor his dream of justice, equity, and freedom for all.

If you believe that decisions about your body should remain yours, that books belong in libraries—not on bonfires, that healthcare is a right, not a privilege for the wealthy; if you believe in the power of free speech and protest to sustain democracy; or if you want an economy that works for the people who power it—then this event is for you.

This won’t be a traditional rally followed by a march. Instead, we’ll be gathering at the staging location for Eatonville’s Dr. King Celebration, walking in solidarity as part of the historic parade. Together, we’ll honor Dr. King’s legacy while carrying signs and materials to engage and inspire those watching along the parade route.

As we approach Dr. King Day and the Presidential Inauguration on Monday, this is our moment to stand united, amplify our voices, and reaffirm our commitment to justice, equity, and freedom for all.
