Where to find fireworks and 4th of July events and what got canceled
NEW YORK (WABC) -- The annual Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks display will go on in New York City, but there will be some changes due to the coronavirus pandemic.
A series of 5-minute shows in each of the five boroughs began on Monday, June 29 and continued through Thursday night.
The sites of those fireworks were not announced beforehand in order to avoid crowds from gathering.
Those smaller displays will culminate with a grand finale at the Empire State Building on Saturday July 4, which will be televised.
And while COVID-19 has canceled many Independence Day celebrations throughout the tri-state area, you may still be able to catch fireworks or July 4 events happening in a town or city near you.
