Enjoy Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration In Reston

This year marks the 35th anniversary of Reston Community Center’s annual celebration. The Reston Community Center will host a three-day celebration honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday on Saturday (Jan. 18), Sunday, (Jan. 19) and Monday (Jan. 20). You can attend a variety of events ranging from performances by the Reston Community Orchestra to community service projects, along with a keynote speaker luncheon. During these celebrations, each day will feature different speakers and activities at various venues throughout the community. Most of the events are free. However, a few events require registration or are accompanied by a fee, like a keynote address by Bakari Sellers. Tickets are $5 for Reston residents and can be purchased online. This year’s community service project includes a winter coat drive for Cornerstones, a local non-profit. A gallery will highlight artwork honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s accomplishments and life by local elementary school students. The works will be on display at the Reston Community Center Hunters Woods from January 11 to 31.
