Montgomery County will celebrate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a Tribute and Musical Celebration on Sunday, January 20, at 3 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public. Although tickets have been sold out, persons who have been unable to acquire tickets may come to the stand-by line at 2 p.m. on Sunday at a designated spot outside the Music Center. At 2:45, all tickets are null and void and patrons in the stand-by line will be allowed entry subject to available seating. Individuals who have tickets that will not be used are asked to return them to the Strathmore Ticket Office in advance of the performance so they can be redistributed.
