macys fireworks

Macy's is not doing its usual Fourth of July NYC Fireworks Spectacular on the East River this year, instead hosting a series of "surprise" five-minute mini spectaculars in each of NYC's five boroughs tonight (6/29) through July 4. There will still be a NBC special on the 4th...

NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio said back in April that July 4 fireworks would happen ”one way or another,” and sure enough, details of this year's display have been announced, although they're unlike those of previous years.

”One way or another” says NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio.

There will be over 70,000 individual effects being launched and among this year's treats is a 1600-foot-long waterfall of fireworks ”burst from the span between the large towers of the Brooklyn Bridge.”
