The New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce and the City of New Rochelle have come to the sad conclusion that the Annual Thanksgiving Parade scheduled for November 21, 2020 must be called off as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic continues to pose a risk at large public events.
The health and safety of New Rochelle is of primary concern. Therefore, in accordance with the guidance of the Department of Health, CDC and Governor Cuomo, the 2020 New Rochelle Thanksgiving Parade has been canceled.
“The New Rochelle Thanksgiving Parade is a time-honored Chamber and City tradition that many look forward to each year, and we thank our sponsors, participants, volunteers and residents for their patience and understanding. This would have been the 57th Annual New Rochelle Thanksgiving Parade. We are talking with our sponsors and partners to think of creative experiences that can drive people and business to New Rochelle this holiday season and we look forward to presenting the New Rochelle Thanksgiving Parade next year on November 20, 2021.” said Rob Hayes, President of the NR Chamber of Commerce.
