What time are the Boston fireworks?
The timing of the July 4th fireworks and Boston Pops concert is a little different this year.
The free concert on the Hatch Shell will start at 7 p.m., an hour earlier than last year. If you’re hoping to snag a prime spot on the “Oval,” the gates will open at noon.
The fireworks will start at about 9:40 p.m. instead of 10:30 p.m. The fireworks show will run about 20 minutes and be accompanied by the “1812 Overture.”
