Macy's hosts 6 fireworks shows in New York right by Independence Day

This year, despite the pandemic, Macy's department store chain will, as usual, delight New Yorkers with the annual Independence Day fireworks. However, it will be held with some changes. This publication writes abc7NY.

Secret locations and a new schedule

A series of five-minute shows in each of New York’s five boros kicks off Monday, June 29th. And the main fireworks will be launched on July 4, “in accordance with the schedule and with some changes,” said mayor Bill de Blasio. This action will also be shown on TV.

“In rethinking the idea for the show this year, the idea of ​​bringing parts of it to many parts of our city resonated with our team and partners in New York,” said Susan Tercero, executive producer of the Macy's Fireworks Show.

After a series of small salutes in every area of ​​New Yorkers, large-scale fireworks await, which will be broadcast on television. The broadcast will last 2 hours (from 20:00 to 22:00). First, the best moments from the pre-recorded fireworks of the previous five nights will be shown, and then the final grandiose salute.

“The past few months have been some of the toughest in our city's history, and New Yorkers are looking for a respite. Celebrating July 4th with Macy's will give all New Yorkers a safe and exciting way to enjoy the holiday together, even when we are quarantined, ”said Mayor de Blasio.

Reportedly, the final fireworks will take place on top of the Empire State Building. There will be honored doctors and employees of urban services.

This year, the usual crowd of people during the show can be avoided, since the fireworks venue in five boros will not be announced in advance. Each show will be so short that those wishing to gather at the fireworks launch site do not have time to do this.

When and where to watch the fireworks

From Monday June 29th to Friday July 3rd, Macy's Fireworks will fire unannounced at various locations throughout New York City. One day - one borough (from one or two places on land or on water).

On Saturday, July 4, bright flashes of lights illuminate the sky over all of New York.

So the best way to enjoy the fireworks this year is to stay at home with social distancing guidelines. You will receive notifications about the launch of fireworks in your immediate vicinity shortly before they start. You will definitely be able to enjoy the magic lights - thousands of fireworks will be launched into the sky per minute, some of them up to 300 meters and higher. This will allow residents of all districts to see the spectacular show with their own eyes.

You can also stay at home and watch the show on TV. It will be broadcast by the TV channel NBC, from 20:00 to 22:00 on July 4. It will consist of excerpts from shows in different parts of New York and a live broadcast of large fireworks directly on Independence Day.
