Brevard honored Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday with a parade and other commemorations. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, also known as MLK Day, honors the American civil rights leader's birthday, although it rarely falls on that actual day. King was born Jan. 15, 1929, but the federal holiday is observed on the third Monday in January.

Martin, Indian River and St. Lucie counties held parades and other celebrations in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Full of energy and excitement, this year's downtown Las Vegas parade has a theme: "Living the Dream — Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future."
