I live in Boston and if you are in one of the unofficially designated "safe zones", mostly municipal baseball/soccer fields, then the cops and FD turn a blind eye to alcohol and fireworks ordinances on and around the 4th. I'm sure if it got out of hand they would shut it down, but I've seen folks set off some pretty serious ordinance without any incident. Mostly people just bring coolers and enjoy watching the 5 guys who decided to blow a couple month's rent on fireworks go to town.
