'Why? Because your safety always comes first. Due to today's weather and conditions along the parade route, continuing with the parade just wouldn't be safe for attendees, performers, and volunteers,' they said in the social media post.
The Foundation said that despite the setback, they are 'thinking ahead and exploring ways to reconnect soon.'
They also advised people to keep up with their social channels for updates and next steps.
