Review & FAQ:

Block Island, RI is no stranger to summertime celebrations, from beach campfire cookouts to festivals and parades, locals and visitors to the island know how to have fun under the sun. The celebration of Independence Day is no different, and it kicks off with a large parade that always starts at Veterans Park. Guests spectating the event are advised to show up early to secure a spot along the parade route to watch all of the floats pass by. After the parade, as is tradition on Block Island, there is an Annual Steak Fry to benefit the local fire department. Oftentimes there are fireworks being shot off through the afternoon and into the evening, as well as bonfires, beach cookouts, and plenty of music to go around.
