Osage Beach announced in a Monday press release that it is canceling its Independence Day parade.

“This decision was made after feedback from the affected businesses and careful consideration of potential impact during this busy weekend in our community,” the release says.

Other festivities for the Heart of the Lake FreedomFest will still occur, the release says. A festival will occur from 3-9 p.m. July 4 at Osage Beach City Park and will include bounce houses, a hot dog eating contest, beer garden, live music and more, according to information on the city’s website.

A fireworks display is scheduled for 9 p.m.
