"Due to the Governor's declaration of a State of Emergency this evening in response to the dangerous weather conditions brought on by the Nor'easter, including high winds, heavy rain and flooding in surrounding areas, we must cancel the 81 stAnnual Columbus Day Parade for the safety of all participants and viewers,"
"While we cannot reschedule this year's parade, we look forward to seeing everyone at our 82 nd annual parade in 2026,"
The Columbus Citizens Foundation canceled the 81st annual New York City Columbus Day Parade because the Governor declared a State of Emergency in response to a nor'easter bringing high winds, heavy rain and flooding. The parade had been scheduled to march up Fifth Avenue from 44th Street to 72nd Street and featured performers and bands. The foundation said the event will not be rescheduled and expects the next parade to be the 82nd annual in 2026. This year's grand marshal is Joseph Moglia and honorees include Fabrizio Di Michele, John and Margo Catsimatidis, and Dr. Fabrizio Michelassi. The parade was last canceled in 2020 during the pandemic and this is the first cancellation due to a weather emergency.
