Boston Pops fireworks spectacular

Fourth of July in BostonBoston is a ghost town – that is unless you are in the Back Bay and Beacon Hill in which case it seems like the city is bursting at the seams as final preparations are made for the annual Boston Pops fireworks spectacular.  Earlier today Sergio and I visited the Hatch Shell and walked the Esplanade, and I was impressed by the incredible security and how efficient everything was operating.

If you want to see the fireworks but not go to the Esplanade, take the Red Line to Kendall Square and walk back to the Charles River.  You will be able to listen to the music, while watching the fireworks explode over Back Bay’s skyline.
