RI celebrates 57th annual Gaspee Days parade
WARWICK, R.I. (WPRI) — Saturday was the 57th annual Gaspee Days Parade and Rhode Islanders got here out for the celebration.
In June of 1772, the British schooner known as the HMS Gaspee was burned in Narraganset Bay by Rhode Island colonists. This may change into often known as America’s “First Blow to Freedom”.
The parade began on Narragansett Parkway in Warwick and continued by means of Pawtuxet Village, and ended on Broad Road in Cranston.
