TEMPLE TERRACE, FL -- Temple Terrace will celebrate Independence Day on Thursday, July 4 starting with the 45th annual Fourth of July parade 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.

Marching bands, classic cars, veterans groups, dancing troupes and floats will launch the parade at 10 a.m. at Whiteway Drive and Gillette Avenue. The parade route runs south to Druid Hills Road, west to Ridgedale Road and south to the Temple Terrace Little League fields.
