The Annual Bristol 4th of July Parade is part of America’s oldest continuous Independence Day celebration. It began in 1785 when Rev. Henry Wight of the First Congregational Church and a Veteran of the Revolutionary War, conducted the first Patriotic Exercises.

This year, the 238th Fourth of July Parade begins at 11:00 am and will step off at the corner of Chestnut Street and Hope Street (Rt. 114) and ends on High Street, between State Street and Bradford Street.

Cox Media and YurView are proud to be part of the history and excitement of the Bristol 4th of July Parade.
