Thousands expected to gather for Canonsburg 4th of July parade
Thousands of people are expected to gather in Canonsburg today for one of Pennsylvania's largest 4th of July parades.
People in Canonsburg have been ready for the parade for days and started setting up their chairs on Wednesday.
The events of the day are set to kick off at 7:30 a.m. for the Whiskey Rebellion 5K, a longtime tradition put on by the Canon-McMillan cross country boosters.
At 9:00 a.m., a ringing of church bells will take place to signal the opening of the ceremonies for the day.
The parade will step off at 10 a.m. and make its way down Pike Street where the spots along the road have been reserved for days, a Canonsburg tradition.

Gates open at 8 p.m. at Canon-McMillan AHN Stadium for the fireworks finale that starts at 9:30 p.m. and a rain date is set for tomorrow if needed.
