Boston
Big bangs from fireworks won’t be the only sound Bostonians hear on Independence Day. The Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular will include performances by the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, the official chorus of the Boston Pops and Boston Symphony orchestras, and concerts by Rachel Platten, Rhiannon Giddens and the Indigo Girls.
Rita Moreno will also make an appearance as part of a tribute to the late American composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein, who would have turned 100 this year. Moreno played Anita in the film adaptation of Bernstein’s and Stephen Sondheim’s West Side Story. Events are also planned for July 3.
