2015 Fourth of July Fireworks and Event Schedule by State

For a joyful, all-American party in the bloom of summer, nothing can compete with the Fourth of July in New England. From huge too little, mountains to coasts, silly, to profound, there is a July 4th entertainment that will bring just the right sparkle to your summer. Examples of "big" are Boston Harborfest and the Boston Pops fireworks over the Charles River. In contrast, find your way to the Rhode Island town of Chepatchet for a DIY "horribles" parade. In between, we have parades and fireworks in many, many towns, barbecues and picnics, free live music, historic re-creations of Independence Day, harbor cruises. Whew! Enjoy the day!

Tonight at 10:20 pm, the Full Buck Moon

 July is normally the month when the new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur. It was also often called the Full Thunder Moon, for the reason that thunderstorms are most frequent during this time. Another name for this month’s Moon was the Full Hay Moon.
