As of today, the parade is still a ‘go’ as per New Britain Township’s Event Coordinator.

Tom Price (President of Council) and Loren Frasco (Vice-President of Council) want everyone to know that Governor Josh Shapiro, as of now, is coming to New Britain Borough tomorrow. He will be arriving around 9:00am at Town Center to talk to the crowd before the Parade. He will be here from 9:00am to about 9:45am.
