Macy’s and Mayor de Blasio Announce That the
39th Annual Macy’s 4th of July
Fireworks®, the Nation’s Largest Independence
Day Display, Will Return to Celebrate America’s Birthday Live from
New York City This Year from Two Locations on the East
River
Macy’s and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced today
that on Saturday, July 4th, the 39th annual Macy’s 4th of July
Fireworks® will rumble to life over New York City, igniting the
skyline over the East River with the nation’s largest Independence
Day pyrotechnic display. This year, extending to two locations, the
show will begin at approximately 9:20 p.m. and dazzle the
shorelines of Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn with an unparalleled
spectacle of color, light and sound set to commemorate the holiday
with a very big bang!
“Last year, we brought Macy’s incredible fireworks back to the
East River – and this year, with barges up and down the river, even
more New Yorkers will be able to take part,” said Mayor Bill de
Blasio. “This celebration will light up the sky for millions in
Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan. There’s no question: this will be a
dynamite 4th of July for New Yorkers across the city.”
“Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks are the nation’s premiere
Independence Day celebration and we are thrilled to once again
bring the City of New York a front row view to this one-of-a-kind
nationwide spectacle,” said Amy Kule, executive producer of Macy’s
4th of July Fireworks. “With two locations, firing 1,600 shells per
minute, this year’s show will cover a large stretch of the City’s
famed skyline with incredibly vibrant color and fantastic
effects.”
America’s most spectacular party will take place from two
locations on the East River in midtown and within the South Street
Seaport district. Brave, the theme of this year’s show, will fire
more than 40,000 pyrotechnic shells during a 25-minute synchronized
display. Designed in collaboration with PyroSpectaculars by Souza,
the show will be fired from four barges positioned between 23rd and
37th Streets in midtown and from one double-barge positioned below
the Brooklyn Bridge.
Revelers enjoying the show are encouraged to experience the full
explosive display by tuning in to radio station 1010 WINS-AM to
hear the musical score to which the show is choreographed.
Independence Day spectators from coast-to-coast can catch all
the action in the sky by tuning to NBC’s two-hour national
broadcast of “Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular” beginning
at 8 p.m. ET (check local listings). In addition to the pyrotechnic
splendor, the 4th of July’s most popular entertainment special will
