The 47th Annual Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks, the largest Independence Day party in the nation, is set to create a spectacular display in the night sky. Taking place on July 4th at around 9:25 p.m., Macy’s will launch an explosive pyrotechnic celebration featuring 60,000 shells and effects from barges along the East River in New York City. The fireworks will be synchronized to a musical score that pays tribute to American classics and showcases a range of colors and shapes.
The event, produced by Macy’s with Pyro Spectaculars by Souza, promises to be a showstopper, captivating millions of spectators across the country. The fireworks will include new effects such as a waving flag, sunflower ring, and unique color-changing Ghost pyro. The pyrotechnic design will feature animated shells and a multi-layer presentation spanning a mile across the East River.
The musical score, curated by Ray Chew, will feature iconic songs like “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “America the Beautiful,” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” The Macy’s Golden Mile, accompanied by Tina Turner’s “The Best,” will create a dramatic cascade effect.
Viewers can enjoy the fireworks from various locations in New York City or watch the national broadcast on NBC. The event will also feature performances from top musical talent. Macy’s is partnering with the City of New York to produce the spectacle, and spectators can tune in to radio station 1010 WINS to hear the choreographed musical score.
