美国佛罗里达州Delray Beach市 — Delray Beach市政府11月10日周二在社交平台发文宣布，该市2027年将不举办年度圣帕特里克节游行与骄傲节活动。市政府给出的理由是一项新的州法律限制地方政府在多元、公平与包容类活动上的支出方式。
法律与市方判断

市政府在一份预备声明中表示，市方已审阅该立法，并认定Delray Beach在法律上被禁止在2027年组织、资助或推广这两项活动。
市政府声明与活动背景
市政府在声明中表示，这两项年度活动多年来为社区成员提供了相聚、庆祝与联结的机会，市方感谢多年来参与的居民、参与者、志愿者与社区伙伴。声明还表示，市方仍致力于服务全体居民，并在符合州与联邦法律的前提下提供社区参与机会。
报道称，这两项活动长期吸引大量人群来到市中心，游行在3月举行，节日活动在6月举行。圣帕特里克节游行始于1968年，路线沿西大西洋大道约一英里。2025年的骄傲节活动于6月14日在老校广场举行，设有现场音乐。

Delray Beach, Florida Cancels Its 2027 St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Pride Events: City Says a New State Law Bars It From Organizing or Funding Them
Delray Beach, Florida — Delray Beach will not host its annual St. Patrick Day Parade or Pride events in 2027, the city announced in a Facebook posting on Tuesday, November 10. The city cited a new state law that restricts how local governments can spend money on activities that promote diversity, equity and inclusion.
The law and the city determination
Reporting said the new state law, which takes effect on January 1, limits what cities, towns and villages can spend to create and promote activities defined under the legislation as diversity, equity and inclusion activities. The restrictions include certain programming and activities that refer to ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity.
City officials said in their prepared statement that they had reviewed the legislation and determined that Delray Beach is legally prohibited from organizing, funding or promoting these events in 2027.
City statement and background
The city statement said the annual events have provided opportunities for members of the community to gather, celebrate and connect, and thanked the residents, participants, volunteers and community partners who have contributed over the years. It said the city remains committed to serving all residents and providing opportunities for community engagement consistent with applicable state and federal laws.
Reporting said the parade and the festival have long drawn large crowds to the downtown area in March and June respectively. The St. Patrick Day Parade dates to 1968, and its route runs about a mile along West Atlantic Avenue. The 2025 Pride event took place on June 14 at Old School Square and featured live music.
It was not immediately known whether a private group would take over the sponsorship and promotion of either event, reporting said.
