The organizers of Ameria ‘s National Independence Day Parade, scheduled for July 4, 2026, at 10:30 AM, have regretfully canceled the parade due to extreme heat in the Washington, DC, region.
The National Weather Service has an Extreme Heat Warning for the District of Columbia, with heat index values expected to reach between 110°F and 115°F.
This decision was made after extensive consultation with the National Park Service, the District of Columbia City Government and Freedom 250 and careful consideration of the safety of our participants, spectators, and staff as the top priority.
