5 Things You Need to Know Today: June 29

Where are you watching fireworks? And are tall ships in your future?

Our weekday morning column, 5 Things You Need to Know, provides you with information that can help you plan your day and give you some fodder for water cooler conversations.

1. We know where there'll be fireworks for the 4th, but we don't know where you'll be watching them. There aren't any in Marlborough for the holiday.

2. Boston’s Tall Ships Festival takes place beginning tonight, Friday, June 29. Organizers urge visitors to take public transportation to and from Fourth of July events. Visit mbta.com for up-to-date service information during the holiday weekend. Buying a return CharlieTicket at the beginning of a trip is strongly encouraged and will help to avoid long lines during holiday travels.
