Celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life at a community- wide commemoration of the civil rights advances over the last half century. The annual celebration takes place at the Lancaster Performing Arts Center. Admission is free and the public is invited to attend.

Words and music will inspire you while the winners of the City’s annual student essay contest for third through twelfth grade students in Lancaster will fill your heart with pride in our youth.
