Animals will get overexcited by the crowds and noise and may become a danger to others and themselves. Please do not allow persons on bicycles, skateboards, or roller blades onto the Parade route. They are dangerous for both our Parade participants and the audience along the sides of the Parade route.
If your house is situated along the Parade route, and it will be a hot and humid Parade day, we ask that you consider running a garden hose out to the Parkway for the use of overheated people. Limit abuse of the hose by opening the tap so that only a slow stream of water comes out. Even a small trickle of cold water can rapidly cool down an overheated person. If you encounter persons suffering heat related illness, please offer the brief use of an air-conditioned car if you have one parked in your driveway.
This is one of the quickest ways to cool down a person with heat illness. This time can be used to assess the person, offer them cold water to drink, and have the hose water cool them off. Inform the dispatcher about the Parade and that it may be best for the rescue vehicle to approach via the side roads.
Please inform us ahead of time at if diesel fumes from some Parade vehicles parked outside your house would seriously affect any members of your household. For people that park nearby the Parade route, please understand that you will not be able to drive out of the area via Narragansett Parkway or Broad Street until well after the end of Parade has passed. This will always be on Memorial Day Weekend, requiring the closure of Narragansett Parkway between Post Road and Canonchet Street between the hours of 9 am to 5 pm each day.

What most alarmed the colonists was the insistence by the British that the men suspected of attacking the Gaspee be sent to London for trial, a dangerous precedent and a threat to the expectations for fair treatment under English law in the colonies, crossing a line that began the process of radicalizing the colonists toward eventual independence.
In the end, no one was ever tried anywhere for the attack, due to a combination of lack of evidence and the political machinations of the RI governor who realized the explosive potential of a trial. The threat of trial in Britain was what made the Gaspee historically important in a way that the St John and Liberty were not.
