Baltimore’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade Canceled [Video]

In partnership with the Mayor’s office, the Baltimore Office of Promotions & The Arts has announced the the MLK Day parade has been canceled. This decision comes after the forecast of expected inclement weather, and there are no plans to reschedule at this time. In an Instagram the interim CEO Robyn Murphy said,

We are truly disappointed to cancel this much beloved event. However, we agree with the mayor’s office that public safety must be our top priority in this moment and the inclement weather and frigid temperatures have dictated this very necessary decision. We send our thanks and apologies to the many dedicated community brands, nonprofits, civic organizations, sponsors, city officials, artists, and volunteers that were prepared to come together on Monday to celebrate the legacy of Dr. King.
