Join us in celebrating community and the end of summer with a spectacular Boston Harbor fireworks display. The waterfront and harbor are treasures that belong to everyone, and we take pride in the diverse communities and public resources that make up our city’s waterfront. Thanks to the generous support of MeetBoston and the City of Boston, Illuminate the Harbor Fireworks is back this Labor Day Weekend for its 10th year.

This event is free and open to the public. Sign up here to stay informed about this event and other updates from Boston Harbor Now.

Fireworks can be viewed from anywhere on the waterfront but suggested public viewing locations along the Boston Harborwalk include:

• Christopher Columbus Park, North End
• Piers Park, East Boston
• Fan Pier, Seaport District

Join us before the show at Christopher Columbus Park for live music:
