Harborfest, fireworks kick off Boston Fourth of July celebrations
DOES BEST. THERE ARE FIREWORKS, BUT THEY’RE JUST THE BEGINNING. AND ALL THE FAMILIES COMING TOGETHER, WATCHING THE NAVY AND THE LIVE MUSIC, WATCHING THE FIREWORKS, SEEING IT IN THE KIDS EYES. IT’S SO COOL. BOSTON HARBOR FEST IN FULL SWING LEADING UP TO THE FOURTH. WE CAME ALL THE WAY TO THE BOSTON FOR THE 4TH OF JULY. I REALLY LIKE LEARNING ABOUT THE BOSTON TEA PARTY FAMILIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD COME TO SEE THE BIRTHPLACE OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE. 4TH OF JULY IS JUST A GOOD, GOOD OCCASION TO BE HERE AS WELL. YEAH. AND THEN I MEAN, IN BOSTON OF ALL PLACES, CHRISTIAN CLAUSSEN BROUGHT HIS FAMILY FROM DENMARK. YOU LEARN A LITTLE BIT OF THE HISTORY ABOUT BOSTON. IF YOU TAUGHT THE KIDS. I’M TRYING WHILE FAMILIES HAVE FUN. POLICE KEEP WATCH AND SAY WE SHOULD ALL BE VIGILANT. WE MUST MAINTAIN A HEIGHTENED STATE OF VIGILANCE, GIVEN THAT WE ARE HOME TO MANY PATRIOTIC AND HISTORICAL LANDMARKS, AND THIS EVENT IS AN ATTRACTIVE AND SYMBOLIC TARGET. BOSTON POPS PREPPING TO WOW CROWDS ON THE ESPLANADE BEFORE THE BIG FIREWORKS ON THURSDAY. CONDUCTOR KEITH LOCKHART HAS BEEN THERE FOR 29 YEARS AND SAYS THIS IS ABOUT UNITY, THIS CONCERT WHERE WE CAN ALL COME TOGETHER AND CELEBRATE THE FACT THAT WE’RE ALLOWED TO HAVE SUCH DIFFERENCES IN THIS COUNTRY, IS IS A VERY IMPORTANT POSITION. NOW, REMEMBER, NO BACKPACKS, ALCOHOL OR WEAPONS. ON THURSDAY, THE FBI SAYS THERE ARE NO CREDIBLE THREATS. BU
