## Resource

Get ready for Boston’s biggest summer bash — the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular returns this Saturday with a star-studded lineup, epic drone show, and dazzling pyrotechnics. Led by Keith Lockhart, the orchestra teams up with Grammy winners Chance The Rapper, Lainey Wilson, and Trombone Shorty, while Megan Hilty and Jane Lynch host and perform. Celebrating the U.S.’s 250th anniversary, the show kicks off at 7 p.m. with music and culminates in a revolutionary-themed drone display synced to the iconic 1812 Overture. Access to the Hatch Shell lawn opens at 4 p.m. (delayed due to heat), and while the event is free and rain-or-shine, expect crowds — plan ahead, use public transit, and leave bags and alcohol at home. Can’t make it to the Esplanade? Catch the fireworks from Cambridge or a boat — just stay clear of the launch zone. And if Boston’s not your vibe, nearby towns are hosting their own shows too.
