Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is an American holiday celebrated on the third Monday of January each year.

According to Wikipedia, the holiday is also observed in the following countries:

One place outside the United States where Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is observed with equal importance is in the Japanese city of Hiroshima under mayor Tadatoshi Akiba, who holds a special banquet at the mayor's office as an act of unifying his city's call for peace with King's message of human rights. The City of Toronto, Canada, is another city that has officially recognized Martin Luther King Jr. Day, although it is not a paid holiday in Toronto, and all government services and businesses remain open.

This article confirms that those are the only two cities outside of the U.S. that recognize the holiday. I am unable to find what days they celebrate it.

¿Quién es Martin Luther King Jr.? Es broma. No, no lo celebramos.

¿Celebran en EE.UU. el día del Ché Guevara?
