Delray Beach, Florida has canceled its St. Patrick's Day parade after a run of nearly 60 years, NPR reported on November 14, 2026. The city cited a new Florida law that bars taxpayer dollars from going toward diversity initiatives. The law prohibits public money from supporting diversity programs, and local officials said it led to the decision to cancel the event. The sources reviewed did not describe the funding gap or the specific costs that prompted the cancellation.
