Fourth of July Events on the Upper Cape

Independence Day is just around the corner. For us New Englanders, it’s been a longtime favorite holiday full of excitement, joy, summertime fun, and of course– fireworks! Even though the Falmouth Fireworks have been canceled for 2021, there are plenty of events to attend for this year’s 4th of July celebration here in the Falmouth area.
