MLK Fest 2024
WHAT IS MLK FEST?
What started out as a 1-day event on MLK Day Monday, January 2015 has grown into a festival of service, spanning the entire weekend of MLK Day. This event was created to revitalize and reactivate neighborhoods in Baton Rouge with the help of volunteers. This year our efforts will be focused on a section of Eden Park.
Focus Area: Eden Park Neighborhood (70802)
