Henry Wight of the First Congregational Church and a Veteran of the Revolutionary War conducted the first Patriotic Exercises. It is not known exactly when the Parade started but it is thought that it evolved from the procession of community members walking to Patriotic Exercises. The Parade, the Military, Civic and Firemen's Parade, is believed to have begun in the early 1800's. The Celebration officially starts on June 14th, Flag Day and concludes with the 2.5 mile Military, Civic and Firemen's Parade on July 4th. Throughout the period following the Flag Day Ceremony numerous events are scheduled. They include a concert series at Independence Park, Fireworks, a Drum Corps Show, a Firefighters muster and a 4th of July Ball as well as many other events.

As we reflect on the success of our 241st Continuous Bristol Fourth of July Celebration, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our Bristol Fourth of July Committee members, supporters, and sponsors. And especially to our Chief Marshal, Thomas M. Carroll! 🇺🇸

This extraordinary celebration would not be possible without the dedication, hard work, generosity, and unwavering commitment of so many people who believe in what Bristol represents. To our committee members, thank you for the countless hours you devote throughout the year. To our supporters and sponsors, thank you for believing in our mission and helping us preserve a tradition that holds such a special place in our community and in our nation’s history.

What makes Bristol truly special is not just our history, but the people who come together year after year with pride, passion, and a shared commitment to keeping this incredible tradition alive. I am sincerely grateful to everyone who plays a part in making our celebration one of a kind.

As we look ahead, we have an exciting year before us as we prepare for our 242nd Continuous Bristol Fourth of July Celebration! There is much to look forward to. With teamwork, dedication, and the continued support of our Bristol community, I am confident that our best days are still ahead.
