The Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular is once again celebrating the 4th of July. Here's how to watch live as it airs, with a free live stream!

If you're heading to Boston on Friday to see the Independence Day fireworks and concert (or if you'd like to watch the festivities from home), here's everything you need to know.

You don’t have to wait until July 4 to see fireworks in Boston. The Harborfest display will begin at 9:15 p.m. on Tuesday, July 2, with the fireworks launching from a barge at Long Wharf. Immediately preceding the pyrotechnics, there will be a concert starting at 7:45 p.m. at Christopher Columbus Park.
