Ancients & Horribles Parade

Glocester's 87th Annual 4th of July
Ancients & Horribles Parade

Thursday - July 4, 2013 at 4:00pm


ABOUT THE PARADE
Nothing is sacred as Glocester locals spoof local and national politics during the famous Ancients and Horribles Parade on the Fourth of July. The parade first wound its way down Main Street in Chepachet in 1926 and, with the help of many dedicated volunteers, has continued to delight Glocester residents (and many others) each and every year since. Keep reading to learn more about the Ancients & Horribles Parade and how you can be a part of this tradition.
