Where to Watch the Boston July 4th Fireworks Tonight | Condé Nast Traveler

"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

Saw the Longwood Symphony Orchestra and it was amazing. Such a nice visit. One suggestion; parents, if your kids cant sit quietly and enjoy, take them to a bouncy castle instead. Everyone will enjoy that more.

Amazing location right next to the Charles River. Many events happen here throughout the year. Even though it is next to a major road of Boston, it is surprisingly quite, peace and calm when you sit in the park. It is best enjoyed in the evening I’d say, and there are many events held here throughout the year - except Winter perhaps. In the summer, there are outdoor movie screenings at the shell which is such a wholesome experience - just bring a picnic blanket, snacks and friends of course, and enjoy a movie under the stars ☺️
