Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Display Takes Place in NYC at 9pm

The Macy’s 4th of July fireworks display, the nation’s largest fireworks show, will take place Saturday at 9pm in New York City.

 

According to the website, more than two million spectators will view the display live and more than eight million will watch the show on NBC.

 

The Macy’s display will return to the Hudson River in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the river’s discovery by Henry Hudson. The New York Pops will play "American River Suite" for its national premiere.

 

The display, officially entitled Macy’s 33rd Annual Pyrotechnic Extravaganza, will also feature music from Tony-award winning composer Stephen Flaherty and libretto from Macy’s own William Schermerhorn with the New York Pops.

 

The best viewing sites for the Independence Day display are on 12th Avenue between 23rd and 59th Streets in Manhattan. The access points are 24th Street, 26th to 30th Streets, 34th Street, 40th to 44th Streets, 47th to 52nd Streets, and 54th to 57th Streets.

 

The following places are not viewing sites this weekend, according to the website: East River (the site of the 2008 show), Battery Park, Battery Park City, all Hudson River Piers (except limited access to Pier 54 and Pier 84), and Hudson River Park promenade and Hudson River Bike Path between W.
