The DTX party continues on July 1 with free performances leading to the Harborfest fireworks at 9pm.
On July Fourth, follow a brief parade from City Hall Plaza to the Old State House (built in 1713), where there’s a reading of the Declaration of Independence. The day ends with the Boston Pops’ annual Fourth of July Spectacular at the Hatch Memorial Shell on the Charles River Esplanade. Stick around for the rousing rendition of the 1812 Overture as cannons and fireworks light up the city.
