"A manicured lawn at this outdoor concert venue on the Charles River Esplanade opens at 9:00 a.m., and it’s where the Boston Pops will play before the fireworks—a beloved but crowded scene that’s not for the agoraphobic. The music and show begin at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, culminating in a fireworks display set to Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” from 9:40 p.m. to around 10:00 p.m., and seats fill notoriously quickly." - Todd Plummer
