There’s no need to limit Fourth of July celebrations to just July 4, which is why Boston Harborfest is celebrating our nation’s history with four days of activities from July 1-4. Step back in time with reenactments from the 2nd Massachusetts Regiment, take historic tours along the Freedom Trail, and catch fireworks along the shores of Boston Harbor at 9:15 on July 3. Finish your weekend off with a Sunday morning July 4 parade, which includes the traditional reading of the Declaration of Independence from the balcony of the Old State House.
