Arriving from NY on 4th July late afternoon for 3 nights and staying in Back Bay area. Travelling with 15 year old daughter and needing advise as to what best to do and where to see firewaorks.
Independence Day
You can checkout the Boston Harborfest events on line. There will be lots of activities in and around the Downtown Area.
The fireworks occur over the Charles River about 10:30 PM, so you should start heading towards the river an hour before to join your 1 million close friends who%26#39;ll be joining you to do the same thing. The best vantage point at a late time (which that is) is on the Boston-bound side of the Longfellow Bridge.
The next day, you can walk the Freedom Trail to see some of the historic sights. Go to Harvard Square one evening and make sure you stroll through Harvard Yard.
Independence Day
Thanks for your help and looking forward to the festivities!
