The Battle of the Barges fireworks show over Labor Day weekend brought back dueling barges to Boston Harbor lighting up the waterfront from end to end. This video shows a bit of the show and the how the North End and Seaport anchored barges were synchronized. The fireworks were organized by The Boston Harbor Association as the grand finale for its Summer on the Waterfront series, highlighting Boston’s waterfront neighborhoods.
Pirates & Patriots Launches on Boston’s Waterfront
Pirates and patriots alike were a part of Boston’s waterfront and the creation of our great city and country as we know it today. Boston’s Freedom Trail® is bringing their stories alive by providing affordable and educational fun to visitors and residents. Boston’s “must-see” history this year is enhanced with a NEW walking tour of Boston harbor, rebellious deeds of colonial agitators, global trade, embargoes, hijackings, and pirate pranks. Sound familiar? The Freedom Trail Foundation’s Pirates & Patriots 90-minute walking tour, with an 18th century costumed guide, launches on June 1 and is offered daily at 12:30 p.m. from the ArtsBoston booth at Faneuil Hall Marketplace.
