Towns in the Westwood area set off the fireworks early this year. If you haven't caught sight of them yet, you have another chance.
In Newton on July 4th, the fireworks start slightly after 9:00 p.m., with viewing at Albermarle Field. In fact, there's a whole day of Independence Day programming in Newton. A Kids Morning runs from 10:00 a.m. to noon, a carnival begins at 1:00 p.m., and musical performances begin at 2:00 p.m. At 7:00 p.m., the headliner band, East Coast Soul takes the stage.
While Norwood hasn't announced any fireworks, a schedule of fun programming awaits visitors on July 4th, with parades in both morning and the afternoon, and programming that includes a Carillon Concert in between.

Happy Independence Day!
