The Town of Ridgefield will host the 29th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Celebration, honoring the legacy of the great civil rights leader, with an awards ceremony, speakers and performances. The Spirit of Dr. King Community Service Award, which is presented each year to a Ridgefield resident who has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to community service and selflessness, will be given to A.C.T. of Connecticut’s Artistic Director Daniel C. Levine. Free for the community to attend, this annual tradition honors the memory of Dr. King and celebrates how his legacy lives on in the good works of Ridgefielders today.
In addition to the Award presentation, many community organizations, such as The Ridgefield Chorale, SPHERE, the A.C.T. of CT Youth Choir, actress Kimberly Wilson, and Levine’s husband and musical director Bryan Perri will all perform.
