If you live in Warwick, you must have heard about the annual Gaspee Day Parade!
It normally starts at Warwick Ave/Narragansett Parkway makes its way along Narragansett Parkway in Warwick torwards Pawtuxet Village where the bridge over the Pawtuxet River crosses into Cranston.
Every year, people and colonial bands come from all over New England to participate in the celebration of "the first blow for freedom", where the early colonists in Rhode Island actually burned the HMS Gaspee!!
You can read a little more under Warwick's tourism website.
The Gaspee website has all the details you need. People that live along the parkway, already know it is useless to plan anything else on this weekend, other than a good BBQ!!
Most of the owners will let you sit on their land to watch the parade and some will put out chairs. This is a Warwick event for 47 years and a must see for your children!
Gaspee does a lot of celebrating. On Memorial Day they host a wonderful Craft Fair.
Don't miss this years parade (or fireworks tonight). You need to get there early to get a spot and plan on spending the day!
