A Day of Service and Song for MLK

Jan. 11, 2025

Each year, Building Bridges with Music—a local nonprofit that has connected students through music for 30 years—puts on a special event in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. On Jan. 20, the day starts off at The Alluvion in Traverse City at 10am, with Miriam Picó and a program for littles age four and under, followed by a free community lunch provided by NoBo Riverside Food & Drink. An arts and crafts session for ages 5-13, led by art therapist Laura Adams, runs from 2-2:45pm on the 2nd floor of the Commongrounds building, and a Human Rights Poetry hour from 3-4pm at The Alluvion showcases students from West Middle School and The Leelanau School. Last, a free concert will be held at 6:30pm at City Opera House, featuring Detroit’s Brazeal Dennard Chorale and NMC Choirs. Get tickets and learn more at thealluvion.org/tickets/mlk25.
