The PrairieFest Parade set to take place in downtown Oswego at noon today has been canceled because of approaching storms.

“Due to wet conditions and safety concerns with several of our entries like Shriners, skaters, bands, and stilts, today’s parade has been canceled,” states a post on the PrairieFest Facebook page.

Other activities are still set to take place. The festival runs through 6 p.m.
