MLK Grande Parade

The organizers of Houston’s two longstanding MLK Day parades to host a single, unified event in January 2026.

A Historic Moment for Houston.

For the first time in over 30 years, Houston’s two major Martin Luther King Jr. Day parades are coming together—uniting as one to present a powerful message of peace, purpose, and progress.

Together, we are embracing Dr. King’s dream by honoring our shared humanity and standing united

One City. One Parade. One Dream.

"Embracing the Oneness in Humanity"

As our city leads by example, this theme calls on us all to uplift the values of love, justice, equality, and unity. In a world often divided, this moment reminds us of what’s possible—when we come together.
