The New England town of Bristol, Rhode Island is home of the nation’s oldest continuous Fourth of July Celebration, dating to 1785.
Bristol’s Independence Day festivities begin weeks before the official holiday, during Flag Day, on June 14. Join in the fun by cheering on drivers in the Orange Crate Derby Race. Wear your best to the Fourth of July Ball, and watch a massive, 2.5-mile parade and fireworks.
Bristol is so patriotic that Hope Street, which runs through the town, “is the only state highway in the country that is legally allowed to have patriotic tri-colored stripes all year round instead of the traditional yellow center,” writes WPRI.
Bristol’s Independence Day celebration “typically draws roughly 200,000 people to town, which has approximately 22,000 residents,” writes WPRI.
“The revelers range from native Bristolians and Rhode Islanders to visitors from across the country who simply wanted to experience the celebration for themselves.”
