The 2025 Downtown Orlando Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Parade is scheduled for Saturday, January 18th at 10:00am.
The theme for 2025 is “Mission Possible: Protecting Freedom, Justice, and Democracy in the Spirit of Nonviolence 365.”
The Southwest Orlando Jaycees will host the 41st annual downtown Orlando Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Parade to highlight the remarkable leader and his legacy with the Civil Rights Movement throughout the United States and across the globe.
To kick-off this year’s parade will be the 2025 Parade Grand Marshall, Omari “Banger” Jones. Omari is an Orlando native, who successfully climbed the ranks of amateur boxing nationally, globally, and ultimately to the podium at the 2024 Paris Olympics as a bronze medalist.
The parade kicks off at the corner North Orange Abe and Livingston Street adjacent to the courthouse. Here is the 2025 Orlando Martin Luther King Parade route map:
