July 2-10, 2012: New England’s Largest July 4 Listings + more

07/01/12 by Johnny Monsarrat

Welcome to New England’s Largest list of July 4 Events!

If this page loads slowly, rest assured that I am working on this. This week I surpassed myself with crazy, researching 375 July 4th celebrations in New England. Among the fireworks, parades, and festivals, you’ll find watermelon eating competitions, “horribles” parades, frog jumping contests, hot air balloons, soap box derbies, and so much more! Make sure to scroll way to the bottom for New England’s largest list of outdoor theatre, movie, and music performances.

I hope you’ve noticed you can now search by date (click the weather icons). And now I’ve got Facebook and Twitter share buttons. Do me a favor and use them! I need more readers, and it signals to me which events you want to see more of .

I hope you are having an awesome week. Now get out there and do something fun!

Boston Harborfest

Boston, MA
Thu 6/28 – Thu 7/5

Boston Harborfest always offers something interesting. The trick is to ignore the stuff that happens all year (like guided tours, whale watches, and museums) and go for the special stuff. Check out the detailed schedule for a full list of events. Meanwhile, look for highlights here on the blog!,
Boston, MA

, Thu 6/28 – Thu 7/5

Operation Sail Tall Ships & Duels!
Boston, MA Sat 6/30 – Thu 7/5 WTF, a battle re-enactment between tall ships! GET ME THERE!! I called and confirmed that these duels are really taking place as one group on a ship tries to board the other ship., Fish Pier Boston, MA , Sat 6/30 – Thu 7/5 more

Declaration of Independence Re-enactment

Quincy, MA
Wed 7/4

2-9pm. Also a not-to-be-missed activity is to head to Quincy and participate in a re-enactment of the Constitutional Congress 2-4pm, and see re-enactors portray Thomas Jefferson and John Adams in a play 7-9pm. I’ve seen it and it’s really, really amazing. And it’s free! City of Quincy doesn’t do a July 4th outdoor celebration — they do that on Flag Day.,
Quincy, MA

, Wed 7/4

Jefferson and Adams: A Revolutionary Dialogue
Quincy, MA Wed 7/4 Also fantastic — I’ve seen it! — is this play starring former US presidents Jefferson and Adams. One a radical, the other more practical. Hint: the guy from MA is the one who never owned slaves. Highly recommended!, Beale House Lawn 181 Adams St Quincy, MA , Wed 7/4 more

Cape Verdean Festival

Vintage Baseball Tournament
Georges Island, MA Sun 7/8 Step into the 1860’s and watch a Civil War- era baseball game with original rules and uniforms. That is to say, baseball uniforms, not Civil War uniforms — although that WOULD be awesome., Fort Warren Georges Island, MA , Sun 7/8 more

Glove Puppetry Boot Camp (for Adults)
Brookline, MA Mon 7/9 – Mon 7/30 Like me, do you make a cute pouty face when only the small kids get to hunt easter eggs? Here’s a puppet workshop for adults!, Puppet Showplace Theatre 32 Station St Brookline, MA , Mon 7/9 – Mon 7/30 more

Sunset Clambake on Spectacle Island

Thu 6/28 – Wed 7/4

Or why not head out to the Boston Harbor Islands? Thursday is the first of a series of clambakes on Spectacle Island this year, catered by the Summer Shack.
