NYC Columbus Day parade canceled due to nor'easter Organizers say the decision was necessary for the safety of all participants and viewers. New York City's 81st annual Columbus Day parade has been canceled and will not be rescheduled. The cancellation comes as New York City is hit with heavy rain and gusty winds from a nor'easter that forced Gov. Kathy Hochul to declare a State of Emergency for New York. Organizers say the decision was necessary for the safety of all participants and viewers.
It was the city's first major organized protest since President Donald Trump declared a state of emergency and unleashed federal troops onto its streets. Banners waved and voices rose in unison at the "We Are All D.C." march, a massive show of resistance led by a coalition that included Free DC, defenders of local self-rule, Democracy Forward, and the American Civil Liberties Union. Their message was clear: the federal occupation of the capital must end.
Our hearts break for the tragic loss of life during last night's storms, and my administration has been in touch with local elected officials offering support.
