Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the city was forced to adjust their 2020 event. It would have been the 69th year of celebration.
To following coronavirus health protocols, the Flag Day Committee planned a "drive under the flag" event.
Koch encourages for parade viewers to wear a mask when they are in large, tight, group settings.
