Lutz 4th Of July Parade, Fireworks: 2019 Guide

LUTZ, FL — Lutz will celebrate Independence Day in red, white and blue style with its annual Fourth of July parade on Thursday, July 4 starting at 10 a.m.

With a 50/50 chance of rain and the unpredictability of weather in Florida in July, to be on the safe side, you'd better bring an umbrella if you're heading out to celebrate. Patch will provide update on any severe thunderstorms and event cancellations.
