In this moment, the inclement weather and frigid temperatures have dictated this very necessary decision. We send our thanks and apologies to the dedicated community bands, nonprofits, civic organizations, sponsors, city officials, artists, and volunteers that were prepared to come together on Monday to celebrate the legacy of Dr. King,” said interim CEO Robyn Murphy.
