 Hello everyone, I'm Alicia Anderson and welcome to the Fort Report. Every year we kick off the holiday season with the Thanksgiving Parade, and usher in the new year with the Rose Bowl Parade. Who doesn't love a good parade? I know I do. And lucky for you, this month Fort Worth has two of them. This January you can go downtown and enjoy both the Fort Worth Stock Show Parade and the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade. Take the entire family out to watch these spectacular annual events. The Fort Worth Stock Show's all-western parade is scheduled for 11 a.m. January 16th in downtown Fort Worth. Nearly 100,000 spectators line the streets of downtown Cowtown to watch this spectacular annual event. Plenty of horses and other livestock can be seen, but no motorized vehicles are allowed. To reserve parade seating, contact the Stock Show ticket office at 817-877-2420. For Stock Show activities, visit www.fwsr.com. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. championed the Civil Rights Movement and opened doors of equal opportunity for people of color. Monday, January 18th, the Greater Fort Worth Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Committee will hold its 31st annual parade in downtown Fort Worth at 11 a.m. The parade will be followed by the MLK Rally, which features step groups, dancers, high school bands and skits in Sundance Square. For more information, go to www.gfwmlkjrhc.info or visit them on Facebook. Here's a look at other events happening in and around Fort Worth in the next few weeks.
