The annual march, organized and presented by the City of San Antonio Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commission and the City of San Antonio, begins at the MLK Jr. Academy and ends at Pittman-Sullivan Park (1101 Iowa St). The nearly three-mile route down Martin Luther King Drive takes participants through San Antonio’s historic East Side in remembrance of Dr. King. In 2017, approximately 300,000 people participated in the march as part of an unforgettable experience that has become one of San Antonio’s signature events.
