MACY’S FIREWORKS – REIMAGINED

From Monday, June 29 through Saturday, July 4, Macy’s Fireworks displays will launch unannounced on select evenings across New York City. Each 5-minute display will feature Macy’s signature pyrotechnic scale with thousands of shells reaching heights up to 1,000 feet. Each show is brief and will be over before residents can gather at its source. The displays will be launched from one or two land or water based locations over the course of the week-long celebration covering every borough of New York City.

Please note: Staying close to home and following safe social distancing guidelines is the best way to enjoy the show.

Thanks for watching
the 44th Annual Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks!

Once again, a special thanks to our frontline heroes in New York City & across the country.
Come back next year for another incredible experience!
