The fireworks have been all but snuffed by the coronavirus pandemic. Parades, concerts and other live celebrations and performances are out, too. But there’s still stuff to do and see this Fourth of July weekend. Here are some of our picks for your best options.

“Hamilton”: You won’t want to throw away your shot to see Lin-Manuel Miranda’s electrifying, hip-hop infused stage sensation about American founding father Alexander Hamilton.

Here’s what you need to know about the show. Details: Premiering July 3; Disney+.
