Festivities will begin at 6 p.m. with live music from Plutos Return, a Somerville High School alumni band. DJ Live will follow with a lively mix of pop, soul, funk, and classic hits, and at 7:45 p.m., local funk band Search Party takes the stage.
At approximately 9 p.m., Mayor Jake Wilson will deliver brief remarks, followed by the National Anthem and the official countdown to the fireworks show. Food vendors will be available throughout the evening, including local Somerville favorites, plus classic treats like fried dough and lemonade.Due to the large crowds and loud noise associated with Somerville Firworks, the City recommends that attendees leave pets at home and avoid bringing unnecessary bags or backpacks. All bags and backpacks are subject to inspection.
To support public safety and pedestrian access, traffic and parking restrictions and road closures will be in place in the area around Trum Field. Attendees are encouraged to plan ahead and allow extra travel time.

Better Relationships Start Within
Better relationships do not begin by changing other people. They begin by changing our mind.
The quality of our relationships depends largely on the state of our mind. When we are stressed, reactive, or overwhelmed, even small interactions can become difficult. But when our mind is calm, clear, and positive, we naturally experience more patience, connection, and happiness.
In this practical meditation series, our team of experienced teachers will share Buddhist wisdom and guided meditations to help you develop healthier relationships, greater emotional balance, and a more peaceful mind.
Each class includes:
• guided meditation 
• a practical teaching 
• contemplative time 
• Q&amp;A
Suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike. Everyone is welcome.
July Series: Better Relationships Start Within
July 1: Open Your Heart 
More joy. More connection.
July 8: Strong Boundaries, Clear Mind
