This month we celebrate the life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Here in Atlanta, because we have the privilege of honoring Dr. King as one of our own, opportunities to celebrate are even more robust. Here are a few events we might consider attending:

- Ebenezer Baptist Church and Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will perform the 2026 King Celebration concert on Jan 10, 2026, at 8 p.m. The concert will be livestreamed (ebenezeratl.org) and will be available on demand through the King National Holiday.

- The Atlanta History Center’s free family-friendly event I Influence the Dream program (1/19/26, 10am - 4 pm). Visitors can trace the arc of Atlanta’s role in the Civil Rights Movement over the course of generations.

- Trees Atlanta will host tree plantings and events in several locations on MLK Day: Cook Park, Lowery Trail, Dunwoody Nature Center, Oakland Cemetery, Lake Claire Park.

- Memorial Drive Ministries’ MLK Day of Service, featuring multiple service opportunities, including one hosted by the DHPC Mission Team (Details TBA)
