Baked Beans, Red Sox, and the BostonPops on the 4th of Julythese are the things that put Boston on the maps. July 4th isBoston's day to shineafter all, does any other city lay claim to such a bold Independence Day domain name as www.july4th.org? Absolutely not. Boston is also one ofa fewcities to have a nationally televised musical performance and fireworks.
The best perk about being in Boston for Americas Birthday is that all of these great activities are freebut where to go to enjoy these festivities can be a challenging question. What to bring and how early to get there are also tough questions to answer. So, here's what you need to know.
July 4th: Where to Watch
By Land:
If you plan to head to the heart of the Esplanade to watch the performance from the Hatch Shellmake sure to get there early. You will be given a wristband so that you can regain entrance into the grass right in front of the Hatch Shell called the Oval. The essential to budget travel is to approach in advance. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the actuality of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our heads. Planning and spending our travel budget wisely is a priority for most families. Minimizing spending and fees, while still savoring your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed achievement and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind protecting money while touring is simple: Even if your personal funds is really limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, no matter whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel bill!. You can leave lawn chairs and blankets in the morning and come back later to watch the showjust beware that your lawn furniture is at the mercy of some of the least friendly/accommodating Americans in this great land of the free. No grills or alcohol are allowed, and if youre STILL jonesin for answers the official website has some great answers here.
If youre less interested in the Pops, and more into breathing room, try watching the works from the banks of Cambridge. Essentially anywhere from Kendall Square to the BU Bridge will do to park it and the Mas Exodus afterward isnt nearly as severe as it is on the opposite banks of the Charles.
By Sea:
Perhaps the best spot in the city, to truly take in the entire Independence Day experience is on a boat, sitting on the Charles River. Although there are some strict guidelines for boaters, if your friend Chip from the Vineyard happens to have a yacht that hes willing to let you borrow, then go for it. It truly is the quintessential Boston experiencejust make sure you have a Sam Adams in one hand and a Lobster in the other and a sun-faded Sox hat for posterity.
By Air:
Although its a bit more removed from the actionthe last possibility is to watch from one of Bostons, oh 3 or so tall buildings. Although access to many of these buildings are limited to people who work inside themmaybe you can get lucky and sprint past a security guard or two. Plenty of the buildings in the Financial District are tall enough to take all the breathtaking scenery inand it gives you the same spectacular view, without the mosquitoes. Call up that friend of yours who works in the Bank of America Building and see what theyre up to.
And, if you dont care much for fireworks, but want to catch the entire show that the Pops have to offer, check out the July 3rd Concert which very few Bostonians know about.
