MANHATTAN, IL \u2014 Manhattan officials on Wednesday said the Village will pause its annual Independence Day Parade for 2026. <\/p>\n
The Village made the call ahead of the return of NASCAR to the Chicagoland Speedway July 3\u20135. <\/p>\n
This marks the first NASCAR event at Chicagoland Speedway since 2019 and is expected to bring a large number of visitors to the area throughout the holiday weekend, the Village said in a release. With the increased traffic and activity anticipated during the race weekend, the Village felt it was important to limit additional road closures and disruptions within the community.<\/p>\n
“By pausing the parade this year, the Village hopes residents can enjoy a safe, relaxing, and festive Fourth of July weekend with family and friends while also welcoming the excitement and economic impact that NASCAR brings back to the region,” according to the release. <\/p>\n
The Village said it looks forward to continuing its Independence Day traditions in the future, and appreciates the community\u2019s understanding and support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MANHATTAN, IL \u2014 Manhattan officials on Wednesday said the Village will pause its annual Independence Day Parade for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171360,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-171359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171359\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
