Newport Rhode Island 375th Parade


A wholesome, sweet, all-American parade wound its way down Broadway in Newport, Rhode Island on June 21, 2014.  Musicians dressed in colonial soldiers' uniforms played brass horns and banged on drums as they arrived at Washington Square and stopped to perform in front of the judges' reviewing stand.  Clubs and groups marched proudly behind their banners. It was great fun to watch (and to jump into the street and snap photos).
