The annual Macy’s Independence Day Fireworks Show is set to take place on the evening of July 4th (Friday) in New York City. The fireworks will be launched from the Brooklyn Bridge and four barges on the East River, illuminating the beautiful skyline of the city. The fireworks show will last for 25 minutes and is expected to start at 9:25 pm. The only public viewing area in Brooklyn is at Brooklyn Bridge Park, where tickets are required for entry. Tickets are free and will be available through a lottery starting on July 1st.
On the day of the event, 80,000 fireworks shells will be launched, showcasing up to 30 different colors and effects such as golden crown jellyfish, atomic halo, yellow-green sunrise, lemon waterfall, and comet fan.
