The Kingdom Day Parade, one of the nation's largest events celebrating the life of Martin Luther King, returns to celebrate MLK's life and legacy.

This year, the cast of The Neighborhood, including Tichina Arnold, Marcel Spears, Sheaun McKinney, Beth Behrs and Max Greenfield, as well as Grand Marshall Cedric the Entertainer, headline the 2026 parade.

The celebration features floats, school bands, community organizations and more as the parade travels from Western & King Blvd., west on King, then south on Crenshaw Blvd, ending at Vernon/ Leimert Park.

This year's parade is produced by Los Angeles Sentinel, Brotherhood Crusade, and Bakewell Media.

Event is rain or shine.
