Organizers of \u201cAmerica\u2019s Independence Day Parade,\u201d scheduled for July 4 at 10:30 am, have canceled the parade due to extreme heat in the Washington, DC, region.<\/p>\n

Scheduled to celebrate America\u2019s 250th birthday, the massive Saturday morning march along Constitution Avenue, scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m., was called off to protect participants and spectators from an anticipated heat index of 110 to 115 degrees.<\/p>\n

Temperatures are expected to reach 102 degrees, and the National Weather Service has issued an Extreme Heat Warning for the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis decision was made after extensive and careful consideration of the safety of our participants, spectators and staff as the top priority,\u201d a statement from Mayor Muriel Bowser\u2019s office reads.<\/p>\n

Cities across the East Coast have been hit with a sweltering heat wave, prompting numerous semiquincentennial events to be canceled.<\/p>\n

In Philadelphia, city officials cancelled their landmark \u201cSalute to Independence Semiquincentennial Parade\u201d \u2014 expected to be the largest 250th-anniversary parade in the nation \u2014 after temperatures tied a record high of 103 degrees F.<\/p>\n

Due to safety concerns, officials delayed public entry to the \u201cBoston Pops Fireworks Spectacular\u201d by four hours, shifting the opening from noon to 4 p.m.<\/p>\n

In the capital, the Great American State Fair temporarily closed and U.S. Capitol Police delayed gate entry for the Independence Day eve \u201cA Capitol Fourth\u201d concert to limit prolonged sun exposure.<\/p>\n

The National Mall\u2019s \u201cSalute to America\u201d event has pushed back entry hours due to high temperatures, shifting from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, four hours later than originally planned.<\/p>\n

Freedom 250, the White House-aligned organization planning events for America\u2019s 250th anniversary, also shut down the Great American State Fair on the Mall for several hours Friday afternoon because of the extreme afternoon heat hitting over 100 degrees.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service has issued an Extreme Heat Warning across the Washington and Baltimore areas, as air temperatures are pushing into the upper 90s to low 100s, and humidity will drive afternoon \u201cfeels-like\u201d heat indices to 102 to 110 degrees, with some urban spots feeling even hotter.<\/p>\n
