Philadelphia’s semiquincentennial parade canceled due to heat

The major heat wave has certainly impacted events for the nation’s 250th anniversary locally, including the semiquincentennial parade on Friday. But this isn’t just a Philly thing. Dozens of parades, celebrations, and fireworks shows have been postponed, re-imagined, or cancelled entirely because of the dangerous heat conditions. The extreme weather is pushing temperatures of over 100 degrees across the Northeast throughout the long holiday weekend.
