Watched fireworks from roof of a building downtown. I could see literally dozens of serious and professional looking fireworks displays from different towns. However in addition to many far off towns, it appeared Lowell had a serious display happening in each neighborhood. Are there little “fireworks crews” which operate out of each neighborhood? Was this a heavy year for explosions because of the 200th/250th celebration? Tell me about Lowell fireworks culture.

Does anyone know where I can take lessons?
Bonus points if they are affordable.

Good evening to anyone who reads this!

First I want to thank everyone who contributes and to this sub. I moved to Lowell about three years ago and this sub has been really helpful.

I’m finally in a place where I’m getting back into my hobby of making music. Are there any good music studios around? Also, are there any artist in Lowell? How can I find some artist to collaborate with?

Thank you for anyone who reads this!

As the title says, where's a good place to watch fireworks in and around Lowell?

I’m north of the river, is anyone else getting brown water out of the mains?

Can anyone confirm if this place is open or not? Used to go a couple years back but then they closed and now it’s status is in limbo for me. I’ve heard a lot of people say it’s open again and want to confirm. Thanks!

Hey all. Wife and I used to live in RI and MA 20 years ago and are now moving back. We're looking at apartments on the 11th. Anything going on from the subject line that weekend that you can recommend?

Thanks.

We know certain "weird" things are less frequent.

Did anyone else got the power outage like 10 minutes ago?

Update: power is back!

My friend asked me to do some sharing because they hate using socials lol. Anyways, Nyoomish (animator) just released their debut published pilot of the animation they did for their graduation project at MassArt!! It’d mean the world if you’d check it out. ⚠️it has suggestive content and one explicit doodle but this is the censored version! (The uncensored one will be up on Newgrounds at some point this week)
P.S: I’m also the VA for the Cupid character :)

Lowell, MA june 30, 2026

AI data center meeting

Hello,

As my title says, where are the 30 year old DINKS( dual income, no kids??

I guess I expected Lowell to feel more like a city in terms of the age of the people if that makes sense. I mean, I know Lowell is a city, but it feels like I moved to a suburb( in some ways, the constant sound of ambulances, sirens, etc remind me that I am in a busy city). I would have expected this if we ended up in Tewksbury or Billerica, but I thought Lowell would have more young people being a city and all.

For context,

I used to live in the Boston area, and then my husband and I bought a house in Lowell because it’s really one of the only towns/cities we could afford to buy something in eastern-northern Massachusetts( where both our families live).Plus it’s not too far from my husbands job. We have been here 2 years, and I feel like it’s been difficult to meet other people our age. I am 30, and my husband is 31. We don’t have kids ( we want to in the future, but def aren’t ready for at least a couple years). I’ve joined a number of community things, such as a softball league, Pilates studio, etc. and every time I do, I meet lovely lovely people, but it’s mostly women in their like 40s to 50s, with grown up children. Again, I’ve met a lot of lovely people, but it would be nice to meet some people my age

I feel like I messed up leaving Boston, it’s been a couple years and this feeling hasn’t gone away. Not to mention I work in the Boston area and all my coworker friends always want to hang out in Boston so I end up spending a lot of time on the highway driving back and forth. I am beginning to question if maybe we should sell and go back to renting closer to the city ??
