Martin Luther King Jr. Day is observed each year on the third Monday in January. Here is a look at what’s open and closed today in the Lehigh Valley. Federal government: All nonessential federal government offices and courts are closed. State, county, local government: State offices in Pennsylvania and New Jersey are closed.

King delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963, which became a seminal moment in the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. Since Monday is a federal holiday, all federal, state, and local government offices will be closed.
