Fireworks Near Me: Burlington's 4th Of July 2021

BURLINGON, MA — Coronavirus cases continue to drop across the country while the number of those who are fully vaccinated continues to rise, which means there is even more reason to celebrate this Independence Day. July 4 is almost here, so it's time to find out what Fourth of July fireworks and festivities are going on near you.

We have all the fireworks shows, parades and festivals happening around Burlington so you can start planning now.

Burlington won't be having fireworks this year, but the rolling rally is on. The rally starts at 11 a.m. at Pine Glen Elementary School and goes to Marshal Simmonds Middle Schools, a shorter route than usual. The theme of the rally will be thanking all frontline workers.

Some major 4th of July traditions will be coming back outside of Burlington:

What: Fireworks

Where: Boston Common

When: July 4, 10:30 p.m.

All eyes will be on Boston for the return of fireworks there as most communities have canceled their displays, mostly due to a lack of planning time and an unwillingness to host so many people right now.

The fireworks are at Boston Common, not the Esplanade, and will follow the Boston Pops' 8 p.m. performance in Tanglewood, a music venue in Western Massachusetts.

Due to the pandemic, counties or cities may adjust or cancel events at the last minute, so double-check with organizers. Know of other events in the area? Post them on the Patch calendar or share details on our free Neighbor Post feature.
