Lineup begins at 10:00 AM at the ASU Military Science Building (1921 Aggie Road). The parade/motorcade will officially start at 10:30 AM.

Park & Ride Option:
If you prefer to park and ride, JET Trolleys will also be available at the ASU Fowler Center (201 Olympic Drive) starting at 9:30 AM. Participants can park there, ride to the lineup location, and be transported back after the parade and program. We encourage everyone to bundle up, stay warm, and join us in celebrating Dr. King’s legacy of unity and nonviolence.
