Longing for a slice of warm, small-town pie? A place where little red, white and blue flags wave freely, and spectators cheer for marching bands and colorful DIY floats? Head to Staten Island’s Travis, a village that can trace its history to the colonial days that predate the Declaration of Independence’s signing. This community has thrown this procession since 1911, which makes it the oldest continuous Fourth of July parade the U.S. Oh, and those taking the ferry there should give the Statue of Liberty a tip of the hat. Starts at P.S. 26, 4108 Victory Blvd, and travels down Victory Blvd.
