Around 7:30 or 8:00pm. To get great seats, go at 3:30. Sit in front of the control booth. I'm not a spoiler, but it's worth it.

Hi! Try the BSO website for info on Symphony and Boston Pops. If attending BSO...I would deal directly with Symphony Hall. The Customer Service staff are very nice and accommodating. You have picked a wonderful time to visit the Boston area...lots to see and do!!! Enjoy your trip!

It's 90 minutes with a 20 minute intermission

Unfortunately, I never go that time of year. Ask your hotel for advice or the Boston tourism bureau. Sorry

It is shorter than the "adult" performance ... closer to 70-90 min than the usual 2 hours

Hello, Minnesota! Welcome to Boston for our pretty fabulous Fourth! Regrettably, if you're coming without blankets or chairs you'll either be standing or sitting on the grass. Most folks will tell you to get there early - and they're right. By and large, it's a very friendly and respectful crowd - so if you have a way to stake out a sitting place early (usually by plunking down your chair or spreading out your sensibly-sized blanket. Here's a thought - since you may be flying in from MSP, see if you can snag an airline blanket (sometimes they'll have them for sale; or you might explain your dilemma to a friendly flight attendant ... yes, contrary to all the phone videos, most flight attendants are extremely nice!) and see if you can grab on for the concert. Then when you're done with it, please share it with someone less fortunate ... you'll unfortunately see many of those folks in and around the Esplanade area where the concert is held. Rule of thumb, if you're anywhere where you have a sightline to the Hatch Shell where the Pops will play; you'll be able to hear it quite well - they've been doing this, and doing it very well, for a lot of years and the sound system is really great! So get there early, stake out a place if you can, and then roam around the Esplanade, walk across the Arthur Fiedler Bridge, see the sights and enjoy the concert! Good luck and safe travels!

Check the community boating site for info about private seating..can't a website so you need to google it

Sorry, I don't know. There should be a number available to speak to someone at the box office. Good luck.
