Delray Beach Drops 2027 St. Patrick's Day Parade and Pride Event Under New State Law

Delray Beach says it will not organize, fund or promote its St. Patrick’s Day Parade or Pride event in 2027 because of Florida’s SB 1134, which takes effect Jan. 1 that year. The city determined the law restricts municipal support for activities it defines as diversity, equity and inclusion. The announcement ends plans for two long-running community events, including a parade held in the city since 1968.
