What's Open, Closed For the 4th of July in Jamaica Plain

Saturday is Independence Day, and chances are you’ve got plans for the weekend. Make sure your propane tank is filled, you’ve got some sparklers and there are enough buns and beer.

You’ll need to know what’s open, or closed. You’re welcome.

Note: banks are closed on July 3, as well, observing the holiday on Friday. Check with your town hall, as many have modified hours, or are closed. Libraries, too, are closed.
