Things To Do In the Area

• 7/3 New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium
• 7/4 Boston Independence Day Concert & Fireworks - The Boston Pops free July 4th 2024 Concert and Fireworks Spectacular, America's best Independence Day celebration, attracts more than a million spectators who gather on July 4 along the banks of the Charles River to listen to the rousing music. The concert begins at 8pm, and the spectacular half-hour fireworks show starts at 10:30pm. A lineup of special guests joins the Pops for the concert, which takes place at Boston's historical Hatch Shell on the Esplanade, a lush river-side park on the Boston side of the Charles. Musical selections include a few traditional pieces but otherwise vary each year until the concert's dramatic signature finale: Tchaikovsky's explosive 1812 Overture, ending with dramatic drumrolls and real cannon fire while church bells ring throughout the city. Then, just as the smoke from the cannons begins to fade from the air, a dazzling firework show lights up the sky. Why does Boston have such a large Independence Day celebration? This is where the fight for American liberty began, and July 4th is a very special occasion here.  Don't miss it!
