BOSTON, July 2 (UPI) -- The Boston Pops moved its traditional July 4th concert up a day to Thursday, July 3, as Tropical Storm Arthur moved up the east coast.
The concert, which ends with Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture" and a fireworks show, draws as many as 1 million people to the Esplanade along the Charles River every year. State Police Col. Timothy Alben announced the change in plans at a news conference Wednesday.
