Cape Cod Fireworks Displays
2013 Dates & Best Viewing Locations

Cape Cod fireworks displays are some of the finest you'll see anywhere. When it comes to blasting off the biggest, showiest fireworks, our Cape Cod towns really go all out!

4th of July Fireworks, Lewis Bay - Hyannis, MA

The most (and best) displays are during 4th of July week, when we celebrate America's Independence Day with parades down Main Street, barbecues and band concerts on the town square - and phenomenal fireworks shows from one end of Cape Cod to the other.

But that's not all ... The big boomers are set off during special fairs and festivals at other times of year, too.

And, we close out the old and ring in the New Year at "First Night" in Chatham with yet another big fireworks show.

If you're lucky enough to be on Cape Cod at fireworks time, you're in for a special treat!

Fireworks Displays - July 4th Week

Falmouth, MA

Date: July 4, 2013

Hyannis, MA

Date: July 4, 2013

Time: Dusk

Place: Lewis Bay

Insider's Tip: The best viewing spots are the beaches around Hyannis Harbor. Pack a picnic basket for dinner and stake out your spot in late afternoon. Or have a bite to eat at a restaurant on Main Street or by the Harbor, then walk to the beach for the fireworks. (Don't forget your cover-up clothes. It gets chilly on the beach after sunset, even in July.)

Orleans, MA

Time: Dusk

Insider's Tip: You can also see the Rock Harbor fireworks display from Cape Cod Bay beaches in Brewster and Eastham. They'll be off at a distance, but still fun to see.

Provincetown, MA

Date: July 4, 2013

Time: Dusk

Place: Provincetown Harbor

Insider's Tip: For a very special experience - watch the fireworks from onboard a ship in the Harbor. On July 4th, Dolphin Fleet offers whale watch plus fireworks cruises at 5 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m., as well as a fireworks-only cruise at 8 p.m. These cruises are very popular, so reserve your spot early.

Onset, MA

Date: July 6, 2013

Time: Dusk

Place: Onset Beach & Bay

Insider's Tip: The town of Onset is on the "mainland" side of the Cape Cod Canal, just over the bridge. It's an absolutely gorgeous little town, and well worth a visit!
