Don’t forget to check the websites for updates (especially traffic nightmares) before you make plans in the Boston area’s many July 4th celebrations.
- Useful overall guide on Boston.com
- The formal program and details at the Hatch Shell, the best July4th event evah! (watch out for shahhhks!)
- Specific , including Longfellow Bridge, which is not available to watch the show from.
- Other events near Boston (various museum things, plus many of the individual town displays)
- “Boston Harborfest” is another group organizing events, but their website is so poorly organized I’m not going to subject you to it.
- Our nation’s Vice President will be attending an event in Charlestown at the U.S.S. Constitution, so unless you’re planning a political protest, you’d do best to avoid… um, probably Charlestown, Boston, and East Boston, presuming he’s taking a military flight into Logan and needlessly tying up traffic throughout the city on such a major holiday. Sigh.
Happy weekend!
