Boston offers some fine activities for vacationers even if you miss the
Boston Pops concert and fireworks.
Landmarks that should not be missed for the history lover include the
Freedom Trail, a walking trail that links the Paul Revere House, the
Boston Massacre site, Old North Church, Faneuil Hall/ Quincy Market,
the Old Statehouse, the Bunker Hill Monument, and Old Ironsides, the
oldest commissioned warship and one that fought in the war of 1812.
Boston has long been famous for its artists and art museums including
the Museum of Fine Arts, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and
Harvard's Fogg and Bush Reisinger. The latest entry, a new art museum
right on the harbor, the museum of Contemporary Art. Long a small
collection tucked into a tiny building near the Prudential Center, the new
modern building houses and expanded collection in a setting with a water
view.
A walking path along the harbor leads from downtown to the new building,
an area where the tall ships will tie up.

Boston's Fourth of July Concert and Fireworks
Concert 8:30 PM Fireworks, 10:30 PM
Keith Lockhart led the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra when they performed for the 37th annual Boston
Fourth of July concert and Fourth of July fireworks celebration. Singer Toby Keith was the featured performer.
This event is free of charge each year; there is no entrance fee.
The highlight of the festival is always the combining of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture played by the
Boston Pops Orchestra with the fireworks launched from barges on the Charles River. Army units fire
howitzers as part of this performance making a powerful visual and auditory event.
The entrance to the shell opens at 9:00 am and visitors swarm in to set blankets on the grass and make a day
of picnicking. The best option for reaching this event is public transportation, Boston's subway system. The
Red Line has a Charles Street Station that is close to the River walk and concert stage shell. The Green Line
subway has a station close to the Boston Public Garden where a pedestrian only bridge leads over to the
Charles River.
This is a very popular and crowded event; it is best to start early and make a day of it.
