The 2018 Homecoming parade is canceled due to potential rain, according to the Emory Alumni Association’s website.

“There wasn’t any way to have this event as it is 100 percent outdoors, with paper floats, golf carts, etc.,” Student Programming Council President Abbey Kelly (19B) told the Wheel. “However, if we can find another way to plan an event that showcases our student organizations, we will do that. We are also super disappointed, as a lot of planning and logistic heavy work went into this on the SPC side.”

SPC, Campus Life and Emory Alumni Association decided to cancel the parade at 9 a.m, according to Kelly.

The Saturday concert featuring Keri Hilson (03Ox, 05C) will start as scheduled at 2 p.m. rain or shine, according to the website.

The parade is annual tradition in which students, alumni, faculty and staff walk through campus with themed groups.

UPDATE (10/20/18 at 10:37 a.m.): The article has been updated with additional information from Kelly.
