This year, Somerville's annual pre-Independence Day fireworks will take place on Thursday, July 3. As always, the fireworks will launch around 9:15 pm from Trum Field, on Broadway between Ball and Magoun squares.

A street party on Broadway will precede the fireworks, with entertainment starting at 6 pm from the Somerville Sunsetters, Booty Vortex, the USO Metropolitan New York Performers, and the U.S. Navy Band Northeast Pops Ensemble.

See the official city press release for full information on street closures and parking restrictions.

The city will also hold a "Family Fun Day" at Trum Field on Saturday, June 28 from noon to 5 pm, with a community BBQ, children's activities, face painting, pony rides, and other kids' entertainments.

I am getting rid of a 32" square folding table and four chairs to go with it.  All in good condition and I even have a box for them. Pick up in Medford, near Tufts, by Sunday. Reply here if interested.   Thanks!
