On Monday, January 15, 2024, the Foundation will commemorate Dr. King’s birthday with one of Tampa’s most anticipated annual celebrations: The City of Tampa MLK Parade with former Tampa City Council Chairwoman Gwendolyn Miller as Grand Marshal! In 2024, the Foundation welcomes back headliners Florida A&M University Marching 100, Bethune-Cookman University Marching Wildcats and the Edward Waters Marching Band! More than 100 high school marching bands, floats, motorcycles, horses, dance groups, and cars will join these dynamic bands. The caravan will wind through the streets of East Tampa, tossing colorful beads and candy to the 30,000+ children and families along the two-mile path. The parade lines up at Cuscaden Park (2900 N. 15th Street, Tampa) and takes off at Noon. It ends at Middleton High School (4801 North 22nd Street, Tampa). Parade entry fees start at $300.
