Bristol to repaint 4th of July parade route lines red, white and blue
BRISTOL, R.I. (WPRI) — The town of Bristol is getting ready for the historic Fourth of July parade that is just three weeks away. The red, white, and blue stripes that mark the parade route on Hope and High streets will be repainted next week. They get repainted every year since it's water-based paint, unlike traditional street paint. Bristol police said temporary parking restrictions will be in place on Hope Street between Washington and Union streets starting Sunday and continuing through Monday, June 23. Restrictions will be in effect nightly from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Hope Street is the only state highway in the country that is legally allowed to have patriotic tri-colored stripes all year round. Bristol, home of America's Oldest Continuous Fourth of July Celebration, doesn't observe the holiday on just one single day. The celebration officially starts on Flag Day, June 14. Over the next few weeks, the town will have free outdoor concerts, a firefighters' muster, the Fourth of July Ball, a carnival, fireworks and many other events. The celebration ends on July 4 with the Military, Civic and Firemen's Parade, which draws about 200,000 people to a town of roughly 22,000 people. This year, the Fourth of July lands on a Friday and the parade will step off at 10:30 a.m. Download the and apps to get breaking news and weather alerts. Watch or with the new .
