The St. Patrick’s Day Parade has been cancelled in Halifax for a second year in a row.

A post made to the parade’s Facebook page says it hopes to see attendees next year.

A reason for this year’s cancellation has not been given.

Posts advertising for this year’s parade we made as recently as Friday.

CTV Atlantic has reached out for comment.

Last year’s parade was also cancelled, with organizers saying they had not received confirmation at the time regarding the route.

The last parade, in 2024, marked the 17th anniversary of the parade.

It is typically organized by volunteers of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade Society and falls on the closest Saturday to March 17.
