What a parade! Thank you to all of our parade entries, volunteers and the amazing crowd for celebrating out great community of Bristol.

Day 3 is here and full of events, including the ever-popular parade at 12:30pm and fireworks at dusk. Stay hydrated and wear sun protection, going to be a hot one! Plenty of shade at Hansen Park to enjoy the activities all day long!

If you are heading to the parade, bring a canned food for the pre-parade canned food drive! There will be a collection coming through the route. This will benefit the Sharing Center.
