Upon entry, please note that all bags are subject to search. Entrance to the park will take place at two locations: the lower bus drop-off area on Ledge Rock Way and the other entry via the Town Forest footpath onto Quarry Road/NARA upper parking lot.
On the other end at Nagog Park Drive, there will be designated bus stops along Nagog Park Drive for pick-up and drop-off. There will be multiple food vendors including food trucks, offering a variety of food entrées, snack foods, ice cream, and soft drinks.

NARA picnic areas are not available on this day. On July 4, the beach parking lot will be open for beach season passholders only. All other guests will be directed to use the NARA upper parking lot off Quarry Road until the lot is full. Once parking at upper lot is full or closed (beginning at 2:00 P.M.) all cars will then be directed to park at Nagog Park Drive.
Our free concert from 7:00-9:30 P.M. features Thirty6Red (T6R), the band that does it all! From the beginnings as an all Original band in the early 90's to today's high energy Cover Band, the band knows how to make sure everyone at their shows has a memorable experience. The lineup has been refined many times to present the strongest group of musicians and vocalists. Each shares the same philosophy - play great songs and make sure everyone is smiling from start to finish.
Please note our amphitheater is lawn seating only. Picnic blankets and chairs are welcome.
A spectacular fireworks show will be displayed by Atlas Fireworks at 9:30 P.M. The fireworks can be viewed from all areas of the 40+ acre NARA site. Local businesses Donelan’s Supermarket and Gould’s Clothing have continued to donate generously for many years towards the fireworks. Their donation is greatly appreciated by the Town and the thousands of guests who attend this event each year.
If you get hungry or thirsty during the day or evening, there will be plenty of food choices available. Dunkin’ Donuts will offer a special free product sampling throughout the event. Boston Events will have their famous fried dough and other great carnival treats as a variety of food vendors and food trucks. Acton Recreation will have ice cream, chips, and glow sticks for sale.
