Fireworks

9:00 pm / Dusk – DCR Pilgrim Memorial State Park

Don’t want to be on the waterfront here are some suggestions on where you can see 

Stop and shop parking lot or Ollies parking lot way to the left

Just about any hill where you can see the harbor.
Forefathers Monument on Allerton st…Burial Hill… Sever St, by the Town Hall.

We always park on Standish Ave and walk to court street and go to that big field

Go early, anywhere from Nelson to Stephens Field will work for viewing, pack your patience for the traffic heading home.

Park as far away as you can stand to walk. You’ll still get to your car and home faster than those who park close

Local Parking  tips from the Mom Experts

We park at the old ames store every year and walk to nelson park

If you go straight outta Nelson instead of towards the restaurant there’s an old Benny’s parking lot on the left it’s about halfway up the street on the left if you get to the stop sign at the top of Nelson you’ve gone too far. It’s just as close as the dirt parking lot
