21st Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration
Every year, the City of Lafayette honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a celebration event, often including a march organized by the Lafayette Youth Advisory Board (LYAB).
Monday, Jan. 19, 10am-12:30pm Location: Bob L. Burger Recreation Center, 111 W. Baseline Rd.
The 2026 Lafayette MLK celebration is a free, all-ages, family-friendly event organized by Lafayette’s youth leaders. No march will be held this year. Join fellow community members at the Receation Center for breakfast, coffee, hot chocolate, children’s activities, musical performances, speakers and more!
LYAB invites the community to join us in honoring Dr. King’s legacy of racial justice, nonviolence, equality, and community empowerment.
The purpose and mission of the Lafayette Youth Advisory Board (LYAB) is to engage Lafayette youth in outreach, advisory, and educational opportunities through solutions-based discourse and action in their community and reciprocally, to promote understanding in the greater community as to the importance of youth leadership and civic participation. The board may make recommendations, based on research and community-based dialogue, to the City Council on youth-related issues and other relevant topics.
