OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - A Mississippi city has announced that its annual Christmas parade has been canceled.

Oxford city officials made the announcement on Thursday.

The coronavirus pandemic had already prompted changes in the format. It was to have been held Dec. 7 in a parking lot, where it would be more of a drive-through event in which cars would drive past the floats.
