Summer season
After two years of Fourth of July fireworks reveals in Massachusetts being cancelled as a result of COVID-19 pandemic, 2022 seems to be the 12 months that cities throughout the Commonwealth are celebrating Independence Day in type.
“We all know how disappointing it was that we had been unable to have fireworks for the final two years,” the Marblehead Fireworks Committee wrote on its web site. “In 2020 we needed to cancel them as a result of preliminary part of the pandemic, and in 2021 we’d have been the one city having fireworks on your complete North Shore — inflicting a possible influx of site visitors that we couldn’t have dealt with from a public security perspective. We’re going to have our comeback this 12 months!!”
In all, greater than 50 fireworks reveals between June 24 to July 16 will rejoice America’s independence, in response to an inventory of permitted fireworks shows printed by the state’s Division of Hearth Companies.
Word: The record we’ve compiled under solely incorporates fireworks reveals in cities which have acquired a allow from DFS. We all know, for instance, that the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular plans to make its return to the Hatch Shell on July 4 for the primary time since 2019. However as a result of Boston’s fireworks allow is just not but on the state’s record, it’s not on our record both.
The Boston Pops’ Fourth of July celebration returns to the Hatch Shell
Primarily based on prior historical past, we’d anticipate round 30-40 extra municipalities to affix the record of 4th of July fireworks shows within the coming weeks, and shall be updating this record each Friday.
Listed below are the instances and schedules of each 4th of July fireworks present in Massachusetts from now by way of July 16.

MASSACHUSETTS — Are you saving your nights outside of the house for the weekend? In Massachusetts, that can often mean missing out on a bevy of great concerts, art exhibits and other events across the state.
In Patch’s latest weekly column, we focus on the events happening throughout the week in the Boston area and beyond.
Below are five events worth checking out, including concerts, film screenings and a celebration — through competition — of poetry and hip-hop.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -On Monday, the Knoxville Fire Department reported responding to a house fire in a bedroom at 1544 Massachusetts Avenue.
According to KFD, when fire crews arrived, officers told them the entire house at the dead end of the street was on fire. Crews successfully extinguished the fire and a small yard fire near the home.
According to KFD, the home suffered significant damage and was a total loss. Officials also report that despite the building having no electricity and being uninhabitable prior to the fire, three people—two females and one male — still managed to illegally live inside the home.
KFD said one female was taken into custody by Knoxville Fire Investigators and charged with aggravated arson.
According to KFD, no injuries have been reported from the incident.

A woman who was killed in a fatal highway crash on Saturday is being remembered.
According to Massachusetts State Police, at just after 3:15 p.m., State Troopers assigned to the Middleborough Barracks responded to a single-vehicle crash on Route 495 southbound in Bridgewater that resulted in the death of passenger in the vehicle.
Preliminary investigation indicates that a 2018 Chevrolet Malibu was traveling on Interstate 495 when, for reasons still under investigation, it went into the wooded median of the roadway and rolled over. The Malibu’s driver, a 79-year-old Mashpee man, was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries. The passenger of the vehicle, 74-year-old Lana Testa of Mashpee, sustained fatal injuries and was determined to be deceased by on scene medical personnel.
Friends say that the driver was Lana’s husband Dave.
Lana was being remembered for her primitive dolls and craft show creations in addition to her contributions to Primitive Place magazine which led the publication to issue a tribute.
“We are deeply saddened by the news of Lana Testa’s passing. Lana has been a dedicated supporter and contributor to A Primitive Place magazine from the very beginning. Her passion and creativity left an indelible mark on our community. As a gifted doll maker, Lana brought joy and inspiration to many through her exclusive creations, each one a testament to her extraordinary talent and meticulous craftsmanship.
“One of the cherished memories we hold dear is the feature in the Fall 2011 issue, where Lana and her husband David’s beautiful home was showcased. The image of one of Lana’s dolls “reading” that very issue stands as a poignant reminder of her contributions and the joy she brought to our readers. Lana’s dolls were more than just artistic pieces; they embodied her spirit, love, and dedication to the primitive arts.
“Lana’s legacy will live on in the hearts of those touched by her work. We extend our deepest condolences to David and the entire Testa family during this difficult time. Lana will be profoundly missed, but her memory will forever be cherished.”
Services have not yet been announced.
The crash remains under investigation by Troop D of the Massachusetts State Police, the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section, the State Police Crime Scene Services Section, and investigators from the Plymouth County State Police Detective Unit. Troopers were assisted by Brockton and Raynham Fire and EMS, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
