Monroe One SEPTA

This is a great opportunity to have your voice heard!

After several difficult conversations and careful consideration, SEPTA has made the tough decision to withdraw from the parade this year. Unfortunately, we simply do not have enough participants committed to make the expense of participating feasible.

I know this news comes very late, and I sincerely apologize for that. We were truly hopeful that our numbers would increase as the event approached, and we held off making a final decision for as long as possible. We are disappointed that we won't be able to join in this year's celebration alongside our community.

I also wanted to pass along an update from Trillium Health. They are actively monitoring the weather forecast for Saturday. If weather conditions require the parade or festival to be canceled, there will not be a rescheduled date. Should I receive any notification of a cancellation, I will share that information with you right away.

Thank you for your understanding, support, and flexibility. We appreciate all the time and effort that has gone into planning and participating in this event, and we hope to be back and involved again in the future.
