GREEN BAY (NBC 26) -- The annual Green Bay Holiday Parade will not take place this year.
Downtown Green Bay organizers of the event cite "current health conditions in our community" for making the difficult decision to cancel this year's parade.
The annual holiday event usually draws a large crowd to downtown Green Bay in November.
The parade is one of many events that have been canceled this year due to concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19. In March, Green Bay's St. Patrick's Day Parade, which also marches through downtown, was canceled due to coronavirus concerns.
According to a New York Times article monitoring COVID-19, Green Bay is now listed as the fourth worst COVID-19 outbreak area in the nation.
