Can’t Make the Pops Fireworks on July 3? Relive the Glory from Previous Years
People are definitely upset about the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular’s abrupt date change from July 4 to July 3. But given the weather forecast and performer commitments, organizers said moving the date up a day instead of back a day was the best move they could manage.
If you were planning to go to Friday’s fireworks display, but can’t make it to Thursday’s replacement date—or if you’re too lazy to get out to the Esplanade—there’s always another option: Youtube!
While many people feel watching a fireworks display is sharing a communal experience and patriotic act, others look at the explosions and think, “This is the same thing every year.’’
So for the earnest and cynical alike, here are some videos of the Pops extravaganza from previous years:
