Due to concerns about the spreading of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, Corktown’s 62nd Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade has been canceled.
"In final preparation for the planning of the 62nd Annual Detroit St. Patrick’s Parade, the parade leadership team, in conjunction with Governor Whitmer’s and Mayor Duggan’s teams, met and we all agreed it was best to cancel this year’s parade and the St. Patrick’s Parade Corktown Races," Parade Co-Chair Mike Kelly said in a statement. "The health and safety of our participants, spectators, local businesses and sponsors is our top priority, especially after we learned about the first cases of COVID-19 in Michigan today."
