There is no rain date, according to the message on the Groton Parks & Rec automated phone system. 

Original post:

Groton's 4th of July parade is scheduled for Friday, July 4, and with Tropical Storm Arthur sending stormy weather our way, folks are wondering if the parade will still take place.

"There is no rain date for the parade — either it happens on July 4th or not," Jerry Løkken, Manager of Recreation Services with Groton Parks and Recreation said via email. "A final decision will be made by 7:30 a.m. on Friday morning."
