Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks
Jul 4, 2026
Description
Each year on Independence Day, Macy’s lights up the sky with a spectacular display of thousands of fireworks launched from barges on the river. The show typically begins at 8pm with performances, but the fireworks blast off later—about an hour after sunset. Previous performers have included Ashanti, Bebe Rexha, Brett Young, Ja Rule, Jelly Roll and The Roots. Visit the website as the date draws closer for more information on specific viewing locations and which celebrities to expect this year.
