Independence Day Parade In D.C. Canceled Over Dangerous Heat (Sebastian Murdock, HuffPost, July 4, 2026):
"The Independence Day Parade set to take place Saturday morning in Washington, D.C., was canceled Friday night over concerns about extreme heat.
Temperatures in the area are expected to reach as high as 102 degrees.
"This decision was made after extensive and careful consideration of the safety of our participants, spectators, and staff as the top priority," said Todd Marcocci, president of Under the Sun Productions Inc., the organizer of the parade.
The Great American State Fair on the National Mall was temporarily closed on Friday due to the heat. Trump said he plans to give a speech Saturday night, though some White House officials have expressed concern that it could be sparsely attended.
“I do not understand why we are doing this so late,” one White House official told CNN. “I’m really not sure who thought this was a good idea.”
It's climate change.
