Delray Beach cancels 2027 St. Patrick's Day Parade, Pride event under new Florida law

Delray Beach says it will not organize its 2027 St. Patrick’s Day Parade or Pride event after reviewing Florida Senate Bill 1134, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2027. The law restricts municipalities from funding or promoting certain activities defined as diversity, equity and inclusion. City officials said they concluded the restrictions prevent the city from organizing, funding or promoting the annual events, which have brought residents and community groups together.
