Celebrate RI’s lead role in the Revolutionary War Gaspee Days weekend honoring the 1772 burning of the HMS Gaspee starting with a 5K and parade Saturday.
On Saturday, June 10, Warwick celebrated “The First Blow for Freedom,” the 1772 burning of the HMS Gaspee by a rebellious band of Rhode Islanders, commemorated every year with Gaspee Day events, including the Gaspee Day Parade.

The 49th Annual Gaspee Days Parade started with a bang, and kept up the percussive momentum as a string of spectacles marched past throngs along Narragansett Parkway Saturday morning.
