Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Returns with an Electric Lineup

A beloved New York City tradition since 1976, the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks is conceived, designed, and produced by Macy's Studios with Pyro Spectaculars by Souza. This year's event will be the 48th edition of the nation's largest Independence Day celebration.

The Macy's 4th of July Fireworks special is a public event that draws millions of spectators to the Hudson River and is broadcast live to millions more around the country. The event will feature an electric lineup of musical performances, a dazzling fireworks display, and a special appearance by the cast of the Broadway musical "Hamilton."

This year's Macy's 4th of July Fireworks will be extra special as the event returns to the Hudson River for the first time in more than a decade. The fireworks will be launched from barges positioned in the river, providing spectators with a breathtaking view of the display. The fireworks display will be choreographed to a soundtrack of patriotic and contemporary music, and will feature a variety of pyrotechnics, including shells, mines, and comets.

In addition to the fireworks display, the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks special will feature a star-studded lineup of musical performances. This year's performers include Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton, and Jennifer Hudson. The show will also feature a special appearance by the cast of the Broadway musical "Hamilton."
