Is that before it gets really hot daily in the summer? Perhaps the parade route is more shaded then? Or to avoid conflicts with other scheduled events? fwiw, in DCA, BPB went off at 5:15 year round. If the temp got too high, the show stops would be canceled, leaving only a truncated parade. Anyone?
