Greater Everett MLK Jr. Community Celebration 2026
On behalf of the Snohomish County Black Heritage Committee, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the 2026 Greater Everett Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Celebration. This year’s theme is “Building Community: The Dream & The Work.” The celebration will be a two-day event, taking place as follows:
- Sunday, January 18th at 4:00 PM - Worship Experience at First Presbyterian Church, Everett
- Monday, January 19th at 11:00 AM - Community March beginning at Everett Memorial Stadium, followed by a Rally at the VOAWW Carl Gipson Center, Everett
In addition to celebrating the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we will continue to honor the memory of the Honorable Judge Eric Lucas through the Prodigies for Peace Art and Essay Contest. We are also honored to welcome Dr. Yvonne Terrell-Powell, of Edmonds College and the Snohomish County NAACP, as this year’s keynote speaker. Together, we can continue the work of building a stronger, more unified community.
