Getting to the Esplanade Hatch Shell

The Esplanade is the section of the Charles River Basin between the Mass. Ave. and Longfellow bridges. The Esplanade contains playgrounds, lakes and bridges, but its dominant feature is the Hatch Shell bandstand. It is from this bandstand that Keith Lockhart and Seiji Ozawa will conduct the July 4th musical festivities.

Enter a starting address and receive street directions. Remember, these directions don't take into account street closings around the Esplanade, but they should still do the trick if you're headed in on foot.
