Southeast Wisconsin celebrates 4th of July

Thousands of people lined the street of North Avenue in Wauwatosa Tuesday morning to celebrate the city’s Fourth of July parade.

Some people lined up before the sunrise, like Tosa Resident Jennifer Stearns.

“I got up really early. And I brought all my friends chairs really early and have cocktails waiting for all of them to arrive. We do it every year,” said Stearns.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and CBS 58’s Drew Bergoyne and Amanda Porterfield were among those in the parade.

It was a similar scene in Waukehsa when the cities parade kicked off at 11.

CBS58’s Mike Curkov and Whitney Martin were a part of that parade.
