The Town of Apex is set to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. this coming weekend, with a series of events slated to honor the civil rights leader's legacy. Official social media channels have announced a multi-day commemoration—from Friday, January 16 through the federal holiday on Monday, January 19—which will be held across various locations within the community.

As noted in a post by the Town of Apex Government yesterday, January 3, attendees can expect a rolling closure on Salem Street for part of the weekend's activities: the closure will take place starting from Apex First Baptist Church and concluding at Apex Town Hall, which will affect traffic from 9:00 am to 10:00 am on Saturday, January 17. In addition, residents looking to plan ahead for the event might find solace in a map detailing downtown parking options, making the logistics of joining in the festivities a touch more manageable.

Those interested in the full itinerary of the weekend's events should turn their attention to Apex’s dedicated webpage for the occasion, where complete details can be found. Furthermore, the town's government invites feedback on the event in an effort to better listen to its citizens, according to the social media post, this openness hints at an ongoing conversation—a loop of feedback and response—that continues well past the weekend itself, and Apex residents are urged to share their thoughts and experiences via an official feedback portal.
