4th Of July Fireworks 2021 Canceled Near Framingham

FRAMINGHAM, MA — Although coronavirus cases continue to drop across the country while the number of those who are fully vaccinated continues to rise, many Independence Day celebrations have once again been canceled, modified or will be held virtually due to the pandemic.

Framingham doesn't have its own July 4 fireworks and hasn't for many years. But fireworks shows and Independence Day events in many nearby towns are also canceled in 2021.

There are a few options if you want to take a drive.

The Worcester Red Sox will be setting off fireworks at the end of each game over the July 4 weekend. You can find tickets here, or head to near Polar Park to see the show. South of Worcester, the Indian Princess cruise ship will float past a show on Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg.
