One unintended consequence of the recent state-wide tourism debacle was to shed a spotlight on a local annual celebration known to almost all natives of Rhode Island: the annual Gaspee Days Parade, held on Saturday, June 11.
Families lined Warwick Avenue and West Shore Road Monday morning to see a community-spanning collection of visual and musical treats in the city’s Memorial Day Parade.
Friends of Mayor Scott Avedisian, who helped celebrate his 50th birthday and Gaspee Days’ 50th anniversary at One Rhodes Plaza, Cranston Tuesday night, are eager to tell you the relationship between man and event date back at least 36 years.
Warwick Post has your answer, whether you’re hoping to glimpse some of the parade or just trying to describe it to friends: Warwick Post caught some highlights from the percussive spectacle and we’re sharing them with you.
