MACY’S FIREWORKS SHOW IS BACK AT THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE

What wouldn’t make Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Show better than to have it back at the Brooklyn Bridge? Proud Americans will make their way on July 4, to Lower Manhattan, in New York to witness one of the largest fireworks shows in the nation. 

The extravagant showcase will be set to begin at 9:20 p.m., with the fireworks show lasting nearly half an hour. While Macy’s handles the music, pyrotechnical and firework company, Pyro Spectacular, will be working on the spectacular display; which is said to be using over 70,000 special effects to undoubtedly wow the audience. 

Many artists will be in the lineup for Macy’s Fireworks Show. This year marks The Wizard of Oz’s 80-year anniversary, which Macy’s will pay their homage to, by having Jennifer Hudson sing her rendition of “Over the Rainbow.” 

   This 4th of July show by Macy’s will be a special one, as it will be back at the 1,600 foot tall, Brooklyn Bridge. Macy’s will be capitalizing on this return, and ensuring viewers are left with an unforgettable show. 

Vice President and Executive Producer for Macy’s Branded Entrainment, Susan Tercero said, “If you’re going to choose something like the Brooklyn Bridge that’s so iconic to New York City and America in general you really want to make sure you’re creating this emotional sound.” 

The show will be one to remember, as it always is. But do not forget about the many street closures and traffic delays that will be in full effect on this day. All street, and lane closures are posted on Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Show announcement.

There will also be TV streaming, if people do not have the opportunity of going to see the show in person. Streaming on most news networks will stream from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., when the show is expected to finish. 

Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks show is something you do not want to miss.
