LAS VEGAS (AP) — The 25th annual Veterans Day parade scheduled in Las Vegas has been canceled for the first time in its history to limit the spread of COVID-19.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that parade organizer and former Air Force Sgt. Jerry Adams said the mandatory requirements needed to comply with COVID-19 regulations also necessitated the cancellation.
The Veterans Action Group is the host of the parade and has carried on the tradition after the previous group, Veterans of Foreign Wars, shut down.
Last year, about 5,000 people participated in the two-hour parade, including Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman and Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak. Thousands attended.
