Utica Brews are postponing their event but are keeping their doors open on Saturday and welcome party goers.
Lt. Bryan Coromato, Utica Police public information officer, says the department will have its usual presence on Varick Street Satuday, as if they parade was still happening. That includes closing Varick Street to traffic for most of the day.
Parade organizers decided to call-off tomorrow's annual parade down Genesee Street citing concerns over single digit temperatures and wind chills below zero. They are meeting with city officials to see if it can be rescheduled for next Saturday, March 18th.
