Humboldt Mayor Dan Scholl and family members throw out flying discs during last year's 4th of July Parade. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was announced Thursday that this year's parade has been cancelled. Humboldt Independent file photo.
As many of you know, when the former Chamber of Commerce dissolved, the Humboldt County Development Association agreed to host the annual 4th of July parade to ensure continuity of the event.
However, it is with great sadness, that we announce that HCDA will be cancelling the 4th of July parade. Please note that HCDA only agreed to host the parade. Any inquiries regarding the status of the fireworks display should be directed to the City of Humboldt.
“We understand this decision will be a disappointment to many, however we believe it is in the best interest of the community at this time. The last few months have been difficult for many of us. However, I believe with focused recovery efforts and continued health and safety measures, we will persevere,” said HCDA Executive Director Alissa O’Connor in a letter Thursday afternoon.
Any questions regarding the matter may be directed to O’Connor at (515) 332-2557, or email her at alissa@humboldtcountyiowa.com.
