I Love a Parade! Watch Bristol's 223rd 4th of July Celebration on ABC 6 in HD

John Eagan

It is hard to honor America quite like Bristol does.  The town's July 4th parade is part of the oldest Independence Day celebration in the country, and it kicks off Friday.   

ABC 6 reporter Julie Ruditzky has a preview...

And then visit the official Bristol 4th of July Celebration Website for any and all information surrounding this weekend's events.  But if you can't make it down to the parade, tune into ABC 6 at 10 am for all of the sights and sound in spectacular high definition.

What a great parade! My family is still talking about it. We only watched the parade, but heard there was a pre-show before and a profile of the city the night before. Next yeaar you should let viewers know about those. Great job to Comcast and to Fred, Allison, and John.

WoW, can you please do this again next year. This is the best parade coverage that I have ever seen. Allison looked at home in Rhode Island and John, Fred and Paul were great as well. I can't believe you were able to get Todd Newton for this parade. Nice Job!

I thought the production was amazing and the camera coverage was so well done. It made a local parade look really big-time. GREAT JOB ABC6.

It was a great event for an HD production. All those flags and fancy costumes looked dazzling. Maybe a few more taped segements (in HD) next year would allow the anchors to pace themselves. I liked the Pre-parade show as well. Great pics and nice stereo audio. Please do it again next year!

Does this mean you guys are going HD? I thought John, Allison, Paul and Fred were all fun to watch and the parade was spectacular! Even that new guy did a nice job with people on the parade route

I loved watching the parade! I thougt you guys did a great job. My family has been evry year for the pas 11, but couln'tgo this year bcause of an illnes in the family. We just got our HD tv, and you could rally tell the difference. The team looked fantastic and the parade was beautful. I woul have iked to have seen mor of the parade though, it semed like the spacing of tefloats and bands was not good.

The "stunning high definition" didn't seem to be that stunning! Was that really 1080? I don't think so. It looked more like "medium definition". Nice but not "stunning".

Your 4th of July parade coverage in Bristol would have been so much better if your cameras showed more of the parade and used less vanity shots of the talking heads covering the parade. Anything they said on the air, they could have easily said at the same time that the parade was being shown on screen.

Sometimes less is more! Why do you have to talk about COMCAST so much. It is really annoying and it is taking away from the parade.

Watching the coverage of the Bristol Parade was very disappointng! It seemed Allison was more involved in the "high definition"rather than the history of the parade. Camera coverage was terrible. It seemed that "homework" was not done on this great event.

The parage coverage is fine, but if I hear the phrase "stunning high definition" one more time, I'll puke. Do the broadcasters have to work it into every other sentence?
