the march & ceremony

              We struggled over whether we should cancel the march.  We had already cancelled the program for the civic center and brought a smaller ceremony to the outside.  We believe it is important for us to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. but only if we could do it safely with the cooperation and assistance of our participants and our community.  Because of coronavirus surges, all MLK Day activities will be outdoors.  We request that all persons wear a mask during the entire event and maintain social distance. We will offer face masks and hand sanitizer.  The march is ½ mile. In order to avoid clusters of people and to maintain safety, we will not provide coffee, water, bus rides nor golf carts.  T-shirts will not be sold but may be purchased  through BigFrog’s online store.

           The starting point will be at Prince Solms Park across from Schlitterbahn on E. San Antonio Street. At 10:00 AM we will proceed down E. San Antonio Street behind the  banner to Main Plaza.  At 10:15 AM the program will begin at the gazebo and will end about 11:15 AM.   No parking in the areas surrounding the entire Main Plaza will be allowed from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM to assure the safety of all persons attending the event.  This area will be marked and vehicles will be subject to towing at owner's expense.   This is a non-partisan, non-political family event.  For a full description of the guidelines please download the guidelines.  Address all issues and concerns to info@nbmlk.com.  Thank you.
