The Boston Pops’ Fourth of July celebration returns to the Hatch Shell
The iconic Fireworks Spectacular returns to the Hatch Shell for its 46th year.
The Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular returns July 4 to the Hatch Memorial Shell on Charles River Esplanade in 2022 after a three-year hiatus from the venue due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The iconic event continues the Boston Pops’ historic tradition of sharing the gift of a free musical celebration with its hometown.
Keith Lockhart will conduct his 27th Fourth-of-July program with the Boston Pops Conductor. The lineup features the Boston Pops orchestra, the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, and the Middlesex County Volunteers Fifes & Drums.
Program details and special guest performers will be announced in the coming weeks.
The Fireworks Spectacular will include a special moment in memory of David Mugar. His support of Boston’s Independence Day celebration starting in 1974 transformed the event into one of the country’s most recognized Independence Day celebrations, according to a statement from the Pops.
