In a press conference on Apr. 20, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that there would be no public events in New York City in the month of June. This includes parades, festivals and concerts.
According to PBS, "Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday that the events would be canceled or at least postponed, saying that it was a painful but necessary step as the city continues to fight the coronavirus."
“They will be back, and we will find the right way to do it,” said the Mayor during the press conference. He also noted that it is not yet clear whether any events will be scheduled for the remainder of 2020.
Last week, de Blasio stated that concerts would be "one of the last things" to return post-coronavirus; the city of New Orleans and the state of California have made similar announcements.
