Instead of the traditional parade, the city held a performance at the Dr. Phillip’s Center Front Yard Festival. Lorri Shaban with DPAC said 10 acts that normally participate in the parade showed off their talents on the stage. “This year because we couldn’t’ do the parade we got together with the City of Orlando and we reimagined it,” Shaban said.
