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.

The Columbus Citizens Foundation says they look forward to seeing everyone at the 82nd annual parade in 2026.
