BAM hosts its free annual Brooklyn tribute to Martin Luther King Jr., and everyone is invited. The celebration brings together artists and civic leaders to commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. King. 

The Tribute features inspiring musical performances by singer-songwriter Madison McFerrin and the award-winning choir Sing Harlem, led by Amaya Knoelle Higginson. Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso serves as the master of ceremonies. Other events include a complementary BAMkids Celebrates MLK Day program featuring music, dance, and craft activities and a free film screening of Rustin.

Tickets are free for this event and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 8am on January 15 in the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House lobby. Please note that providing an RSVP does not guarantee entry.

A livestream is available on BAM.org during the event. The link will not be available after the program.
