MLK Jettie Rhodes Day Celebration

Date: 6.28.25

Time: 12:00 PM

Location: King Park, 915 W. Wascher Dr., Urbana, IL 61801

Martin Luther King Jettie Rhodes Neighborhood Day was founded by the late Mrs. Jettie Rhodes. Mrs. Rhodes had a famous quote: “Who’s your neighbor?”

This day is all about giving back to the community with fun, family, networking, and a diverse atmosphere. Enjoy free food (while supplies last), live entertainment, kids’ activities, raffle prizes, and a wealth of resourceful information provided by various local nonprofits. In addition, you may recognize some of our public officials and community members who volunteer for this event each year. Rain or shine, the fun goes on!
