Capital Holiday Parade Cancellation Announced At The Eleventh Hour

In the last few hours it was finally announced that the Capital Holiday Parade has indeed been canceled. This from their website. We are very sad to announce that the Capital Holiday Parade has been canceled due to lack of funding to pay for District of Columbia city services. We are a small non-profit 501(c)3 organization with a goal to promote music education and performing arts throughout the Washington Metropolitan Area and across the United States. We knocked on every door and left no stone unturned for financial support and we were just unable to secure funding for what we know would have been a great event to kick off the holiday season here in Washington, DC. All tickets purchased on our website as well as through our partner Living Social will be refunded immediately. A HUGE THANKS goes out to the Washington Examiner and their staff members: Mitch, Deanna, Tiffany and Marilu for all of their support. Please continue to support the Washington Examiner and their efforts to inform the Washington Metropolitan Area of important news and information in the community. This is truly the best source of information in the metropolitan area and a company that cares about the community. We offer a sincere heartfelt "thank you" to all that volunteered and offered their time to try and make the Capital Holiday Parade a success. It is our hope that you and your families will have a wonderful holiday season. Warm Regards, Capital Holiday Parade Staff .
