Storrow Drive Closed to Cars

On July 4th, Storrow Drive — a major highway along the Charles River in Boston — is closed to cars, creating a rare opportunity for people to walk, run, and bike freely along this scenic route. This annual Independence Day tradition draws large crowds looking to enjoy the riverfront without traffic. It's a fantastic, family-friendly way to experience Boston's waterfront before the evening's Boston Pops fireworks festivities.
