(Michigan City, IN) - The luck of the Irish has apparently run out in Michigan City.  Officials have announced no St. Patrick’s Day parade will be held this year.  COVID-19 was cited as the reason.

Despite declining cases, officials said current state and local regulations would make

it impossible to host an event that has the same high standards people have come to expect

from the always heavily attended St. Patrick’s Day parade.  There's also no reason to risk the health and safety of the community, officials said.

The St. Patrick’s Day parade on Franklin Street was slated for March 13.
