America's fight for independence began in Boston, so what better way to celebrate Independence Day than in the place where it all started? The Boston Harborfest is the city's week-long celebration of American independence, and on July 4th the festival moves to the Charles River Esplanade for a great view of fireworks and patriotic music by the Boston Pops.

Head to the Back Bay Fens and hang out next to a beautiful freshwater marsh. Along with the marsh, this link in the Emerald Necklace park system is home to ball fields, a wartime “Victory Garden” that was established in 1941, and the popular Kelleher Rose Garden, among other outdoor attractions. While you're exploring the park, be sure to pay respects at the World War II, Vietnam, and Korean War memorials that reside in the park.

There's not much that could be more romantic than a date on the water. Plan your next date night with a Spirit of Boston sunset dinner cruise on the beautiful Boston Harbor. As you dine on a buffet of sumptuous foods you'll enjoy taking in the view of the city from the luxury ship; after dinner you'll have plenty of opportunities to get close with drinks and dancing. For an extra romantic moment, toast to your love while experiencing the view from the ship's outdoor deck.
