Celebrate with us at the 4th annual Embrace Honors MLK, a night dedicated to uplifting the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King through a vibrant and inspiring evening of music, performances, food, and fellowship. This year, we continue our tradition of honoring extraordinary couples who have embodied the Kings’ commitment to justice, love, and service, making a lasting impact in their communities. Through powerful storytelling and artistic expression we will celebrate their work and reflect on the ongoing journey toward equity and liberation. Highlights of the evening include: Live music & performances from local and national artists, delicious food & drinks featuring local Black-owned businesses, immersive mini-activations showcasing history, art, and community impact. Come show off your flyest pair of kicks on the dance floor!

This year we are excited to expand our commemoration.The 2026 MLK Weekend Celebration is a citywide tribute to the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, bringing together three powerful annual events—the MLK Memorial Breakfast, Embrace Honors MLK, and the Boston Children’s Chorus MLK Tribute Concert. This collective celebration amplifies the Kings’ vision for justice, love, and equity by convening leaders, changemakers, and families across Boston to reflect, connect, and take action toward a more inclusive and liberated future.
