Weather Challenges Can't Stop Boston's Fourth of July Celebrations

Massachusetts State Police have reopened security checkpoints into the Esplanade for the annual Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular on the Fourth of July. The screening process will resume, allowing visitors to watch the concert and fireworks as scheduled. However, entry onto the Esplanade was temporarily suspended due to heavy rain and the possibility of lightning. Boston Pops Conductor Keith Lockhart expressed confidence that the weather would not dampen the spirits of the dedicated fans. The event will feature a star-studded lineup of guest artists, including En Vogue, and can be viewed on Bloomberg TV and heard on Bloomberg radio.
