After two years of Fourth of July fireworks shows in Massachusetts being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2022 appears to be the year that towns across the Commonwealth once again celebrate Independence Day in style.

“We know how disappointing it was that we were unable to have fireworks for the last two years,” the Marblehead Fireworks Committee wrote on its website. “In 2020 we had to cancel them due to the initial phase of the pandemic, and in 2021 we would have been the only town having fireworks on the entire North Shore — causing a potential inflow of traffic that we couldn’t have handled from a public safety perspective. We are going to have our comeback this year!!”

In all, more than 90 fireworks shows between June 24 to July 16 will celebrate America’s independence, according to a list of permitted fireworks displays published by the state’s Department of Fire Services.

With severe weather forecast for Saturday, we will do our best to update this list throughout the Fourth of July long weekend regarding any postponements or cancellations. Please reach out to [email protected] if you want to update your town’s information.

Here are the times and schedules of every Fourth of July fireworks show in Massachusetts through July 16.
