The Martin Luther King Jr. Foundation of Alaska has been hosting an annual community-wide celebration commemorating King’s legacy for the past 33 years. The event is the largest celebration in the state, drawing hundreds of people, according to organizer Celeste Hodge Growden.

“It seems every year it just gets larger,” Growden said.

This year’s event, to be held at West Anchorage High School, will feature musical performances by the MLK Community-Wide Chorus and the Christian contemporary band Forgiven, along with presentations by community leaders, including Mayor Ethan Berkowitz and Anchorage School District Superintendent Deena Bishop.
