BRISTOL, R.I.- Rhode Islanders are getting an early start on the weekend.
They’re marking the July Fourth holiday with fireworks, concerts - and, of course, the longest continuous Independence Day celebration in the country.
The annual Bristol parade kicks off Saturday morning. The town has observed July Fourth every year since 1785. Besides the parade, there are performances by drum and bugle corps, patriotic speeches and various contests.
