The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday parade on Saturday and the Panthers playoff game on Sunday are both expected to bring a lot of people to Uptown Charlotte.

Declaring the events as extraordinary allows the city and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department to modify its permitting process and specifies particular items that are prohibited from being brought into certain boundaries of the events.
