(Downtown Whitewater press release – November 2, 2020) — During this unprecedented time, there
have been many unknowns for businesses, individuals, organizations, and events. Following
continued concerns about the COVID-19 virus, the Downtown Whitewater, Inc. board of
directors has decided to cancel the 2020 Parade Of Lights. Even though this saddens us to
announce we believe this is the right decision to make. Our number one priority as an
organization is to keep the Whitewater community safe and healthy and help stop the spread of
the COVID-19 virus in our community.

We would like to thank the entire Whitewater community along with our sponsors and
participating organizations for your continued support of the parade year after year. We’ll
continue to meet virtually and plan for a fantastic 2021 Parade Of Lights. We are working with
the City of Whitewater to put together a program with highlights from previous events for the
community to view.
