The 32nd Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Parade marched through the streets of Long Beach on Saturday morning.

This year’s theme, “Continuing the Legacy,” was felt throughout the crowd.

“The significance of it is important, we need to remember what he stood for,” said Alina Zetina, an attendee.

The parade kicked off at about 11 a.m. and headed north on Martin Luther King Blvd. ending at Kings Park.

Many local groups participated including city dignitaries, local schools, car club, performers and more.

While many came out to see familiar faces, everyone came out to honor King and what he stood for.
