MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY IN ORANGE COUNTY

January 19, 2026

If you’re looking for opportunities to celebrate Martin Luther King  Jr. Day in Orange County and to honor this great and iconic man, please see our list below. We at My Local OC acknowledge how Martin Luther King Jr. changed and improved our country in ways that were much needed. We hope you take time today to teach those too young to remember him about the peaceful message that he spoke and lived. And the amazing strides he made to abolish racial segregation. And to those of us who had the privilege to be part of his all too brief time on earth, let us take time to think of him, and pray that others will follow in his footsteps.
