Road closures will include Fourth Street from Charleston Boulevard to Stewart Avenue, and Third Street from Garces Avenue to Coolidge Avenue, as well as all side streets.
Parade theme
This year’s parade theme, “Living the Dream: Justice in the Journey. Hope in the Hardship,” honors the fight for civil rights and celebrates the legacy and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
RTC will participate in the parade under the theme, “Together We Ride,” symbolizing unity, mobility, and community connection. The theme highlights how transportation brings people together and supports every walk of life across Southern Nevada.
“Creating opportunities for accessible connection across Southern Nevada is at the core of everything we do at RTC,” said RTC CEO M.J.
