4th of July Parade Watchers: Wait Until Night Before to Reserve Your Spots
Arlington Heights officials are asking residents to wait until 7 p.m. July 3 before claiming spots to watch the parade.

But they're asking parade-watchers not to start reserving their viewing spots along the parkways aligning the route until 7 p.m. Sunday, July 3, according to a city press release.
