The Boston Pops’ Fireworks Spectacular is happening Saturday night on the Charles River Esplanade in the Back Bay.
It’s free, open to the public, and the show will go on even if there’s rain. Here’s everything you need to know before you go.
As of 6:25 p.m. the Charles River Esplanade was being evacuated due to weather concerns. The area reopened around 40 minutes later. The concert and fireworks will be delayed.
When is the 2026 Boston Pops fireworks celebration?
Access to the Hatch Shell lawn opens at 4 p.m. Saturday on a first-come, first-served basis. The time was pushed back from the annual noon-time opening because of the extreme heat in Boston.
There will be several sing-alongs throughout the event, and a screening of “We Declare,” a film by eighth-grade students at the Boston Green Academy in Brighton.
