July 4th holiday limits your options, but let us help you set your concert schedule

With the Fourth of July falling on Thursday, and the long weekend that follows being one of the prime vacation kickoffs, there is a much smaller list of musical options. But the Levitate Music and Arts Festival will be taking place at the Marshfield Fairgrounds, Friday-through-Sunday, and there are some other choices too. The Spire Center in Plymouth takes a break until July 26, and Scullers Jazz Club in Boston, and The RegattaBar in Harvard Square are both taking the next couple months off.
