Celebrate independence

Monday is the Fourth of July, Independence Day, and there are celebrations all over the place. Salt Lake City government isn’t doing fireworks, but both The Gateway and the Salt Lake Bees will have professional fireworks. Elsewhere around the state, look for professional fireworks displays in Brigham City, Cedar City, Clearfield, Delta, Duchesne, Hurricane, Kanab, Kaysville, Layton, Lehi (Thanksgiving Point), Magna, Murray, North Ogden, Oakley, Parowan, Richfield, Riverton, Sandy, St. George, Tooele, West Bountiful and West Jordan. Most start at dusk, around 10 p.m. Officials around the state are asking everyone — because of drought, wildfires and air quality — to ditch the amateur fireworks.

Spektor in Sandy, twice

Esquire magazine calls Regina Spektor “our generation’s Joni Mitchell.” The Moscow-born and Bronx-raised singer/songwriter/pianist has been performing for 20 years now, starting in the anti-folk scene in New York’s East Village. She released her eighth studio album, “Home, before and after,” on June 24. Spektor will perform Tuesday and Wednesday at Sandy Amphitheater, 1245 E. 9400 South, Sandy. Limited tickets are available at sandyamp.com.

July 5, 6, 7

Basketball in the summer

The Salt Lake City Summer League is happening at Vivint Arena, an off-season tune-up and a chance for four NBA teams — the Memphis Grizzlies, Oklahoma City Thunder, Philadelphia 76ers and the host Utah Jazz — to gauge their young talent ahead of fall training camp. Games are at 5 and 7 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, and 4 and 6 p.m. on Thursday. Tickets available at VivintArena.com.

Boston Area Fourth of July Events Begin in Searing Heat Friday

There are so many things to do this weekend to celebrate Independence Day in the Boston area, but the weekend kicks off with temperatures soaring into the 90s Friday.

At Christopher Columbus Park, there will be a concert and fireworks display Friday evening as a part of Boston Harborfest. The Fourth of July Festival celebrating Boston’s harbor and history kicks off Friday with events at Downtown Crossing, including the turn-around sail of the USS Constitution.

Meanwhile, Friday night and Saturday is Boston JerkFest, with incredible Caribbean food at the Harvard Athletic Complex. And of course, the crown jewel of Boston’s Fourth of July celebrations is the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular on Monday at the Esplanade.

Thursday was expected to be one of the busiest travel days on the road for the Fourth of July weekend. Triple A Northeast predicts drivers in the Boston area could experience up to 3x the usual traffic on some roadways both Thursday and Friday.

But the weather is going to be hot with temperatures in the 90’s Friday, and the weekend in the 80’s and humid. The NBC10 Boston weather team issued a First Alert Friday for the searing temperatures.

For those attending any of these outdoor events, experts say to want to watch for signs of heat stroke. If you’re not sweating, you have dry, hot, red skin, pinpoint pupils, dizziness or a headache, vomiting or fainting, you should seek medical care.
