Monday. Salute the legacy of Martin Luther King at the 25th annual MLK Day Marade. The combination march-and-parade starts at City Park, where walkers will assemble. From there, the marade courses through town to Civic Center Park — a rally at Civic Center will cap the day’s celebration. The marade route is nearly 3 miles long, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. 9 a.m. Monday. City Park, 17th Avenue and Josephine Street. Free.

Saturdays. Youngsters can learn all about the shining sounds of brass music at the Denver Brass’s roving “Tiny Tots Love Music” concerts. Starring the Denver Brass 5 ensemble, each concert is geared toward little ones age 4 and younger. There won’t be much squirming in seats and loud “shush”es, either — the music is light and kid-friendly, and audience participation (including clapping and dancing) is encouraged. The shows run on Saturdays through Feb. 27, with additional performances on Feb. 16 and March 27. Visit denverbrass.org for a full list of times and locations. 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Peace Lutheran Church, 5675 Field St., Arvada. Admission is $5. For more information, call 303-832-HORN or check out denverbrass.org.

Based on Dr. Seuss’s book “Hooray for Diffendoofer Day!”, the musical shows how the kooky staff and students of Diffendoofer prepare for a threatening standardized test. (Sound familiar?)
