Chepachet
is a village located within the town of Glocester in northwestern Rhode Island. As of the 2010 census, the census-designated place of Chepachet had a population of 1,675. The entire town of Glocester has a population of around 9,700. This is a lovely, peaceful, mostly rural area, with several parks, ponds and lakes in the town. The village of Chepachet is most well-known for its' Ancient and Horribles Parade, a Fourth of July parade and celebration, founded in 1926. "Parades of horribles" was a New England tradition dating back to the early 1800s in the early small towns of the region. The oldest known one occurred in Lowell, Massachusetts on July 4, 1851. According to Wikipedia: New Englanders in several cities started parading in concert with other New England towns in the middle of the 1800s in Ancient and Horrible or Antique and Horribles parades. The dress was meant to satirize politicians and other public figures. This had largely died out by 1900. The Ancient and Horribles Parade on July 4th continues in Chepachet, but without the satirical political dimension the costumes once held. Other special events in Glocester include a Heritage Days Crafts & Antiques Fair, Peddlers' Faire, and Candlelight Shopping & Festival of Lights in December. There are several historic buildings and cemeteries in Chepachet/Glocester, including the Chepachet Village Historic District.
