Happy 4th of July! Today is the day! Grill it up, hit the beach and come to Boston to get a great view of the Boston Fireworks Spectacular this year!
The concert is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., followed by the fireworks, which are scheduled to begin at 9:30 p.m. This year, performances will include Susan Tedeschi, Howie Day, Ayla Brown, Ellis Hall, The Tanglewood Festival Chorus and Keith Lockhart and The Boston Pops. The show will conclude with "Overture of 1812", which will be performed by the Boston Pops as the fireworks go off! The concert and fireworks will end at approximately 10:00pm.
The Esplanade, like most years, will be crowded so make sure you get there early! The Mass Ave Bridge will be closed this year as well as half of the Longfellow Bridge. On top of the items that are normally not permitted, no backpacks or coolers will be allowed this year as well.
So plan accordingly, stay safe and most importantly, enjoy your Independence Day!
