Bristol, Rhode Island has the longest running parade in the United States. The 4th in Bristol is like Christmas in terms of the celebration's importance to the town. Plans for next years parade starts July 5th. Dunkin Donuts and Del's Lemonade, alogn with quahogs and clam boils are the main staples. It's a great day to be in Bristol, only wish I were there.
