The cancelation trend of parades started this year when all St. Patrick Day parades around the state, including Atlantic City and North Wildwood, were called off due to the ongoing concerns of the coronavirus pandemic.

Originally the biggest 4th of July Parade in the state wasn't going to happen this year thanks to COVID-19 restrictions and safety protocols associated with the pandemic.

The parade planning takes two and a half months of advanced work and parade officials came to the conclusion the parade would not be feasible in 2021 thanks to covid concerns. The 2019 parade, was also canceled due to the same concerns.
