People are gathering for Denver’s parade honoring Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
The event begins with a wreath laying at the “I Have a Dream Memorial” at City Park at 10 a.m.
At around 10:30 a.m., participants in the annual Martin Luther King Day Marade, a combination march and parade, will walk south of City Park into the State Capitol grounds to Civic Center Park. The event ends with a rally at Civic Center.
The marade route is nearly 3 miles long, so participants are advised to wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather.
King’s birthday was declared a Colorado state holiday in 1984.
Last year, the marade was held the day before Barack Obama was sworn in as president. About 20,000 people participated.
