The Fourth of July is still more than a month away. But Massachusetts residents don’t need to wait to see fireworks displays.
Though fireworks are banned in Massachusetts without proper certification, official events are scheduled across the state throughout the summer, including two this weekend.
On Friday, a fireworks show is scheduled at Fitton Football Stadium in Worcester, following a Worcester Bravehearts baseball game.
On Saturday, a fireworks display is planned at 10 p.m. at Dighton Town Hall, according to a list of sanctioned summer fireworks shows published by the state Department of Fire Services.

Authorities have urged members of the public to leave fireworks shows to the professionals.
Between 2019 and 2023, officials said Massachusetts medical facilities treated more than 200 people for burns and other injuries associated with fireworks. Two dozen people were treated for severe burn injuries that covered 5% or more of their bodies.
