Boston's Best Locations to view New Year's Eve Fireworks

Boston New Year's Eve Fireworks

A nearly 40 year old tradition continues with First Night Boston Fireworks lighting up the midnight skies over the historic Boston waterfront, Boston Common and Copley Square to usher in the new year, 2023!

First Night Boston Copley Square Fireworks New Year's Eve

This year, there will be three fireworks displays:

  • At 7pm on Boston Common

  • At Midnight over Boston Harbor

  • Simultaneously at Midnight they will be launched off the roof of the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel in Copley Square

New Year's Eve Fireworks on Boston Common

While the Copley Square and Boston Common fireworks should be viewed from their respective locations, the Boston Harbor fireworks can be viewed from anywhere on the Boston waterfront; Downtown, Eastie, Charlestown and Seaport. My favorite places to watch and photograph the fireworks are listed below.

New Year's Eve East Boston Fireworks

As you will see from the images here, my favorite location, the East Boston Waterfront! This vantage point provides spectacular views of the Boston skyline. Some of my favorite locations on the Eastie Waterfront are from LoPresti Park, anywhere along E Pier Drive, Piers Park and from Logan Airport at the Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor Hotel. Pro tip; if you visit the Hyatt Hotel and park in their lot, you can get parking validated at the hotel bar. You will be able to relax on their outdoor patio overlooking the skyline before, during or after the fireworks with some food and drinks!

First Night Boston Copley Square Fireworks

Another nice location is from Fan Pier Park in Boston’s Seaport area. While you won’t have the skyline as a direct backdrop to the fireworks, it is still a great location that will get you a great view.

If you want a real closeup view, head over to Long Wharf or Christopher Columbus Park in the North End.
