The All Peoples Celebration aspires to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This annual community program is the preeminent event in San Diego County where more than 1,000 business leaders, elected officials, faith leaders, community organizers, artists, and students come together for an inspiring program and common goal of honoring the work and the sacrifice of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This year's All Peoples Celebration will feature Eva Paterson as the keynote speaker.

In these uncertain times, it’s imperative that we find effective ways to hold on to our ideals, to thoughtfully sift through the issues we encounter every day, and actively unite to move our communities forward together. In recognition of this moment, the theme for this year’s celebration is the embodiment of one simple but mighty word: STAND.

We must stand for what we believe in and do so with steadfast purpose. Every time we stand up, stand in, and stand with, we give voice to our ideals; we magnify marginalized communities; we give foundation for growth to things that have been uprooted and pushed aside. This year and going forward, we invite you to stand firmly and fiercely. This is the most powerful way to honor the legacy of Dr. King and every trailblazing leader that has carved the path to building the Beloved Community with integrity and courage.
