City of Albert Lea issued the following announcement on May 7.
On behalf of the Albert Lea-Freeborn County Chamber of Commerce, we regret to inform you that we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s July 3rd Parade and the July 4th Fireworks. We made this decision in response to challenges presented by the COVID-19 virus. The safety of our members and our community is our top priority. In addition to safety, the larger response to the virus has reduced the availability of resources needed to present the parade and fireworks.
We want to thank our community and our local businesses for their continued support, particularly during this challenging season. And we want to reiterate that the Albert Lea-Freeborn County Chamber of Commerce is still hard at work for you, making efforts to advocate for our business members, and to improve the business climate in and around Albert Lea and Freeborn County.
