Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular

By MEGAN COLLINS | Sunday May 20, 2012 10:31 AM

The Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular is a huge 2-day celebration, however fireworks only happen on the fourth. There are over 500,000 visitors from New England and around the globe that line the river to watch in amazement and celebrate America’s birthday. Plus there are another 7 million that tune in nationally on CBS for live primetime special. So be one of those 500,000 visitors and witness the impressive show.

The Boston Pops performance is for sure a place you want to stop by. The program is a sing-along and the words are found in the program. They have not updated the list of other performers for 2012, but check the website below for the updates. This concert is free and is located on the Esplanade along the banks of the Charles River. The fireworks will be set off on barges in the Charles River. There is an excellent map on the website to get the inside scoop of where to stand.

Keep in mind if you want to see the concert you have sit in “the Oval” area. This is a grassy area in front of the Hatch Shell. It is the ideal place for sound; it isn’t exactly ideal for watching fireworks because so many trees surround it. But keeping that in mind the fireworks start at 10:30 pm so you can get there early and start to find a better location to watch. The concert starts at 8:30 but entrances open at 4 pm on the 3^rd and 9 am on the 4^th. You could always do the concert the third and plan fireworks for the 4^th. Once you witness this spectacle you will want to return every year!
