GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.- In celebration of Independence Day, the city of Grand Junction held its annual parade Wednesday.

Main Street was packed with people waiting to see the hour-long event. Many city officials, veterans, dancers and even Miss Colorado were in attendance.

The parade normally has fireworks at the end of the event, but they were canceled.

G.J. Fireworks have not been cancelled, but postponed pending better conducive environmental conditions.

The parade is too late in the day and when temps are reaching the hottest part of the day. Make it late morning and you'll start seeing more kids/families. But hey, it's your parade. Do what works for the organizers. You can keep enjoying it all by yourselves.
