Posted

Please join the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) Collier County Branch in celebrating the 29th Annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Parade and Celebration. The theme is “Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability but comes through continuous struggle.” The Grand Marshal is Suncoast Bank, represented by Inelda Cyrique-Jean and Lisa Carter.

The parade begins at 11:00 AM at 5th Avenue South and 3rd Street South. The parade continues on a one mile route, turns down Fifth Avenue South, ending at 8th and 8th, with a celebration from 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM in Cambier Park, 755 8th Street South, Naples, Florida. There will be live entertainment, food vendors, family fun, activities for the kids, and much more.

We would love for you to join us and share our vision to educate, promote, and remember Dr. King’s vision and celebrate diversity as we come together as a community.

We look forward to seeing you in the parade!

“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.” ~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
