Mayor Jacqueline M. Izzo said the decision was made due to recently issued state guidelines.
Izzo said Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday that outdoor events of 500 plus participants – which organizers believe the Honor America Days Celebration would fall into – would require COVID-19 test confirmation and/or vaccination verification for those older than 4 as well as a maintained 6-feet of distancing between spectators.
“It would be impossible for the Honor America Days Committee to implement these procedures with multiple points of entry along the parade route, which draws 10,000+ people, and the pops concert on the lawn of Fort Stanwix also drawing thousands of spectators with multiple modes of entry,” Izzo said in an emailed statement.
