The City of Paso Robles invites residents of all ages to come together on Monday, January 19 for the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Celebration & Service, a meaningful day dedicated to honoring Dr. King’s enduring legacy of unity, hope, and service.The day will begin with a community celebration near the gazebo from 9 to 10 AM at Downtown City Park (11th and Park Street), featuring inspiring guest speakers and uplifting musical performances that reflect Dr. King’s message and impact. This gathering offers an opportunity for the community to reflect, connect, and set the tone for a day rooted in service.
Following the celebration, community members are invited to participate in one of two 90-minute service opportunities from 10 to 11:30 AM. Volunteers of all ages may choose between:
* A care package service project at the Paso Robles City Library (1000 Spring Street)
* A mulch beautification service project at Robbins Field (626 7th Street).
Advance registration at the link below is free and recommended (but not required to participate in the day of service). All registered service project volunteers will receive a commemorative gift and are invited to attend an MLK volunteer luncheon prepared by the Paso Robles Lions Club.
Registration for service projects is available online at www.prcity.com/mlk. Volunteers may also register in person at the Centennial Park registration desk (600 Nickerson Drive) Monday through Friday from noon to 5 PM. To obtain additional information about the celebration and service opportunities, please visit www.prcity.com/mlk or contact Recreation Services at 805.237.3988 or email [email protected].
The annual celebration emphasizes reflection, action, and the power of service to strengthen the community. No matter how the holiday is observed, the City of Paso Robles encourages the community to reflect on Dr. King’s words: “Everybody can be great, because everyone can serve.”
Later in the month, the Paso Robles City Library will host an art opening on January 30, 2026, featuring the winners of the 2026 MLK Art Contest, continuing the celebration of Dr. King’s legacy through youth creativity and expression.
