Because of concerns arising from the coronavirus pandemic, the Montrose Christmas Parade Association recently canceled what would have been its 44th annual parade.
The organization announced on its website that it made the decision in coordination with the city, the Montrose Shopping Park, the Montrose-Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce and local health authorities. This year’s event would have been on Saturday, Dec. 5.
Instead, the parade group said, the next event is slated for Dec. 4, 2021.
“In order to protect the incredible members of our community, we have decided that it is better to focus our energy on the 2021 event,” it said on its website. “We appreciate your support of, participation in and attendance at this annual tradition and we promise we will return with the bands, community entries, kids and of course Santa flying by in his helicopter that make this parade so special.”
