Theresa Melaragno, President of the Denver St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee and Mayor Michael B. Hancock issued the following statement regarding the 2020 St. Patrickâs Day Parade in Denver:
âFollowing discussions with public health officials at the city and at the urging of the Mayor during consultation yesterday and this morning, the Denver St. Patrickâs Day Parade Committee has made the tough decision to cancel this yearâs parade due to the on-going situation surrounding COVID-19. The health and safety of parade participants and attendees is our highest priority every year, and the call to cancel the 2020 parade was made out of an abundance of caution to ensure that we are doing our part to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19 to those who join us every year to celebrate this annual tradition. We thank the parade sponsors, participants and hundreds of volunteers who put in countless hours of their time to celebrate our city and our Irish heritage. SlĂĄinte.
