Baltimore’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade, set for Monday, January 20, 2025, has been canceled, according to The Baltimore Office of Promotions & The Arts (BOPA).

“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 bands, nonprofits, civic organizations, sponsors, city officials, ar sts, and volunteers that were prepared to come together on Monday to celebrate the legacy of Dr. King,” said interim CEO Robyn Murphy.

Baltimore Office of Promotions & The Arts (BOPA) said there are no plans to reschedule the Martin Luther King Jr parade at this time.
