Because of conflicting schedules for organizers, participants and volunteers, the village of Johnsburg has officially canceled its Holiday Magic Parade, tree-lighting and fireworks event for 2024.

Originally set for Dec. 14, the event was postponed due to rain and possible ice in the forecast, with hopes it could be rescheduled for the coming weekend.

The event was officially canceled for the season Thursday, the village announced an email alert to residents and on the Johnsburg village website and featuring a photo of The Grinch.

“We apologize in advance to all the registered participants and families looking forward to this Holiday event,” the announcement said. From weather not cooperating and other holiday events in the village we were unable to offer a make-up/alternate event.”
