January 18, 2021 marks the 25th anniversary of Ridgefield’s MLK Jr. Day celebration, honoring the legacy of the great civil rights leader with an awards ceremony, speakers and performances.
Every year The Spirit of Dr. King Award is given to a Ridgefield resident for their outstanding commitment to community service and selflessness, as we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. King. This year will be special, not only because it is the 25th Anniversary of this event, but because, for the first time, it will all be done virtually.
