fireworks in nearby towns

[adrian-turtle.livejournal.com]

I saw Ron's post about the fireworks display at Trum Field on Canada Day, and I know about the big Boston Pops thing Sunday night. Can any of you help me find out when and where other towns will be having fireworks? I'm trying to AVOID them. I have the option of spending the next few days in Arlington or Belmont. I can go back and forth, if it turns out that one town has fireworks Saturday night and the other has them Sunday, but I don't want to see the fireworks start and then try to get across town under the rockets' red glare.

Lexington is tonight, 9:30 pm

Here's a full list on the Secretary of State's website. No fireworks in Arlington, Belmont, Watertown, or Medford.

Thanks

Note that our area of Medford (near Wellington Circle, Hormel Stadium, etc) has more than its fair share of illegal fireworks.

What do you have against fireworks? Here is it all on one page.

Did you intend to post a link?

(My guess is that the original poster is very sensitive to loud noises and prefers to avoid them)

People have dislikes, preferences, aversions, and even phobias about all sorts of things, and may not want to share that on a public LJ group.

Thanks for being so considerate.

Fireworks could be a PTSD trigger for some people.

This list is a little more Boston local, but gives you the dates and locations w/ a bit less clicking.

Arlington was very, very quiet last year despite nearby fireworks.

Some kind of explosive performance seemed to be going on, late nights at the end of June in the general direction of the dog-walking park. It never lasted more than 15 minutes, but it was always between midnight and 2am. I thought it might have been something organized, but probably not.
