Summer is here, and with it comes a steady stream of fireworks — most of which are in honor of Fourth of July, and many of of which are on July 4. Fireworks displays in towns across Massachusetts will be held every weekend through mid-July, and the Department of Fire Services (DFS) is expected to approve more permits for towns in the coming days and weeks.

The most notable fireworks celebration in the region each year is the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular, which returns to the Esplanade on July 4 with a headlining set from R&B group En Vogue and a fireworks show accompanied by conductor Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Orchestra. But the annual concert is hardly the only Fourth of July weekend celebration worth checking out, as many towns in the region have honed their own spectacular fireworks shows for decades now.

Below you’ll find a list of more than 100 fireworks celebrations scheduled to take place in Massachusetts now through the end of summer. So the next time you look out the window and ask yourself, “Wait, are there fireworks near me right now?,” you’ll have all the information you need.

Note: This list of July 4 fireworks in Massachusetts will be updated regularly through July 9. Is your town’s fireworks show going to be delayed due to weather? Please reach out to [email protected] if you want to update your town’s information.

Update (July 4, 3 p.m.): Due to potential thunderstorms on Tuesday, the following towns have rescheduled their Fourth of July fireworks from July 4 to the listed rain date: Falmouth (July 5), New Bedford (July 5).

Update (July 3, 2 p.m.): Due to potential severe thunderstorms Monday night, the following towns have rescheduled their Fourth of July fireworks from July 3 to the listed rain date: Andover (July 6), Charlton (July 5), Gloucester (July 8), Lynn/Swampscott (July 5), Webster (July 7).
