After 10 years on the East River, New York City’s July 4th fireworks show is coming back to the Hudson River. Macy’s, who sponsors the show, said that “many factors” affected the decision to move the location. The 48th Annual Macy’s Fireworks Show will have over 60,000 pyrotechnics for viewers’ enjoyment.
The fireworks show is scheduled to begin at 9:25 pm on Thursday, July 4th and can be viewed from many locations around the area.
