The Punxsutawney Memorial Day program and parade that were supposed to take place on Monday, May 31 have been canceled this year.
The Punxsy Spirit reports that the decision to hold the event must be made early in the year to prepare for the festivities, as approval is needed from borough council to shut down the street for the parade, to hold the program in Barclay Square, and letters are sent out to schools for the bands, fire companies, and other participants.
The decision was made before the restrictions started being lifted. Christopher Maze, commander of the John Jacob Fisher Post No. 62 American Legion said they are looking forward to holding it again in 2022.
