Each year, The City of Greer and surrounding communities come together to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A sold out crowd is entertained with great music, singers, videos, lunch, and a keynote speaker. Organizers also announce Samaritan Award winners who have positively impacted the community. 

The 23rd annual MLK Jr. Celebration Luncheon will be held on January 15, 2024 at the Event Halls at Greer City Hall and will feature the Saint Mark Vessels of Praise Choir, the James Brothers, and keynote speaker State Representative Wendell Jones. Catering provided by Peggy's Diner.
