The COVID-19 pandemic “has stolen the Holyoke St. Patrick’s Day Parade from our community for a second year in a row,” lamented Holyoke City Councilor at large Rebecca Lisi
However, there will be floats this year, just be smaller- much smaller -than usual.
The first-ever Holyoke St. Patrick’s Shoebox Parade Party will be online featuring videos of parade floats made out of shoeboxes. It all happens on March 17.
It promises to be a wonderful footnote in the history of the parade.
Folks can create and decorate shoebox floats that will become a part of a virtual photo party that will occur on Facebook throughout the month of March, with a video shoebox parade compilation airing on March 17 at 4 p.m.

MOBILE, Ala. (WPMI) The Mobile parading organization The Comic Cowboys have a unique solution for making their parade happen Tuesday February 16 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since 1884 the Comic Cowboys have highlighted the missteps and irony of local events and leaders, always without malice, using humor, satire, and sarcasm with signage on board our anything but glamourous floats. It is without question one of the most anticipated parades of Mobile’s famed Mardi Gras, as revelers can’t wait to see who ‘made the parade’ that year.
In the 137 years of our existence, only World War I and World War ll have cancelled our parades.

WINNIPEG Pride Winnipeg is planning to move its 2021 celebrations to an online platform amid concerns about the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. On Tuesday, Pride Winnipeg announced that it would be taking a different approach to the digital celebrations this year during Pride Week. We are looking at doing 10 days of community events mixed with our standard Pride style programming, rather than just a single weekend digital festival, and this year we will end with a Virtual Parade, Barry Karlenzig, president of Pride Winnipeg, said in a news release. “We have also worked with our partners to enable us to double our Resurgence Fund capacity and open it to allow community groups to apply for funding to host their events year-round, not just during Pride week.”
