Somerville, Where the 4th of July is Celebrated in June

[ron_newman]

The City of Somerville will set off fireworks at Trum Field this Thursday, June 28, starting at about 9:15 pm.

The fireworks will be preceded by a general street party on Broadway, starting at 6 pm, featuring live entertainment by the Somerville Sunsetters, Booty Vortex, the USO Metropolitan New York Performers, and the U.S. Air Force Band of Liberty.

You really don't want to drive or park anywhere near this event -- especially not on Broadway or Cedar Street. For a full list of street closures, parking restrictions, and detours for bus routes 80 and 89, see the official city announcement.

The city will also hold a 'Family Fun Day' at Trum Field on Saturday, June 30th from noon – 5:00 P.M., which will include a free barbecue and various children's activities.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good location for viewing the fireworks? A new building has gone up in front of my usual spot. Thanks in advance!

Anywhere on Cedar Street or the closed part of Broadway should do fine.
