Join Mayor Setti Warren, other honored guests and members of the Newton community for the 47th Annual Rev. Martin Luther King. Jr. Newton Community Celebration. The event provides an opportunity to join together as a caring community in celebration of the richness of our diversity, and the values that we espouse as a partnership in the promotion of understanding, acceptance, and respect among people. 

The event was founded in 1968 by members of the Myrtle Baptist Church as a means of remembering the civil rights leader in the context of a community celebration of his life, and the ideals he strove to achieve. It expanded and moved into larger spaces throughout the city, hosted by different houses of worship each year. 

We hope to see you there!
