Lowell Fourth of July Fireworks

I was there this year for their annual 4^th of July fireworks show on the boulevard. it wasn’t a bad show. There were numerous stands serving fan favorites like fried dough, fries, burgers and drinks. (typical carnival style foods).
The music performance that day kind of sucked but I guess it just wasn’t to my taste since everyone else seemed to like it. It was muggy and overcrowded where we were sitting and there was an approaching thunderstorm. That made the fireworks all the more enjoyable since there was flashes of light behind distant clouds as the fireworks themselves were going off.
The fire works themselves weren’t too shabby at all! I loved the end where they went crazy and just unloaded everything. a good minute or two. My nieces loved the smiley faced fireworks. The reason it got four and not five stars was because it was way too overcrowded.

Just like the Pops on the Esplanade, except smaller.
It’s right on the river. There’s a beach and an ice cream shop across the street. There are plenty of food vendors and there’s a live orchestra on the open-​air stage.
Just like the pops, they play the 1812 overture and it’s synchronized to the fireworks.
