FOX6 WakeUp went back in time on Saturday, July 5 to learn how our ancestors may have celebrated Independence Day.

Fourth of July actions are planned in a handful of cities across Wisconsin, including Milwaukee and Madison. On Fourth of July, Women’s March is hosting “Free America” actions across the country, encouraging people to organize marches, rallies, parades, block parties or barbecues in protest.

The advisory will go into effect at noon and last through 8 p.m., affecting the metro, western Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Communities up north will be under an extreme heat warning starting at 11 a.
