The performances take place on Thursdays from 12:30-1:30 PM on the Lawn.

Fireworks on Saturday!

Target Fireworks at the Seaport this Saturday, June 13th at sundown!

(It’s part of a larger event that involves children, but let’s face it, you’re going to be buzzed from daytime drinking by this point anyway. Just watch where you step; they’re short.)
