Citing DEI law, Delray Beach cancels St. Patrick's parade, Pride fest

Delray Beach will not host its annual St. Patrick's Day Parade or Pride events in 2027, citing a new state law that restricts how local governments can spend money on activities that promote diversity, equity and inclusion. The city made the announcement in a Facebook posting on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The parade and the festival have long drawn large crowds to the city's downtown area in March and June, respectively. The new state law, which takes effect Jan. 1, limits what cities, towns and villages can spend to create and promote activities defined under the legislation as DEI. These restrictions include certain programming and activities that refer to ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity. City officials said in their prepared statement that they had reviewed the legislation and determined that Delray Beach is legally prohibited from organizing, funding or promoting these events in 2027. "The City recognizes that these annual events have provided opportunities for members of the community to gather, celebrate, and connect," the city's statement said. "We appreciate the residents, participants, volunteers, and community partners who have contributed to these events over the years. "We remain committed to serving all residents and providing opportunities for community engagement consistent
