The parade planned to kick off Dripping Springs Founders Day weekend April 28 at 6:30 p.m. has been canceled due to potential severe weather.
The decision was made by the city of Dripping Springs and Founders Day Festival Commission after meeting with Emergency Management Officials and the National Weather Service.
According to the National Weather Service, large hail, damaging winds and heavy rainfall may be possible this afternoon and evening as severe thunderstorms arrive along a cold front April 28.
If hail and lightning were to occur during the parade, there would not be sufficient shelter to keep participants and viewers safe, city officials stated in a press release.
