4th of July fireworks: Where to watch in New York City and the Tri-State
NEW YORK (WABC) -- The annual Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks display will be moving a bit south down the East River this year, and for the first time in half a decade, fireworks will be launching from the Brooklyn Bridge.
Macy's last showcased the Brooklyn Bridge when its structure served as the launchpad for key moments in the 2014 show, but this year's presentation will add three times more pyrotechnic firepower as Macy's creative team expands the design to include more dazzling and intricate effects firing from locations spanning the entire bridge.
The fireworks were set off from barges off Midtown Manhattan last year, but this year, they'll be launching from the bridge and four barges positioned along the shores of Pier 17 at the Seaport District along the Lower East River.
The 43rd annual event kicks off at 9:20 p.m. on July 4 and will last for 25 minutes.
Billed as the nation's most extravagant Fourth of July fireworks show, the annual show dazzles the New York City skyline with more than 75,000 shells. The sparkling, booming spectacle of the Macy's fireworks show paints New York's skies with patriotic pride.
