The Allentown St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be a virtual celebration of Irish heritage in 2021, organizers announced Wednesday.
“After much heartfelt consideration, the Allentown St. Patrick’s Parade Committee Inc. has made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s physical parade and its related activities due to the on-going restrictions on gatherings caused by COVID-19,” the committee said on Facebook. “However, virtual plans are already set to Keep the Spirit of St. Patrick Alive in 2021!”
