The Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks show is celebrating a milestone anniversary in style, with spectacles launching from both the East and Hudson rivers.
The 50th edition of the nation’s largest Independence Day celebration in New York City will fire 85,000 shells in 30 colors from six barges, as well as host a new laser show from the Brooklyn Bridge.
Can’t attend in person? The streaming action kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
The roughly 30-minutes fireworks show, previously scheduled to start just before 9:30 p.m., was moved forward due to inclement weather.
The show will now start right after 9 p.m.
The city also gave away 100,000 tickets to watch along the Brooklyn and Manhattan waterfronts.
Who will perform at this year’s Macy fireworks show?
The special will feature performances from Post Malone, Blake Shelton, Salt-N-Pepa, Noah Kahan, Bebe Rexha and Shaboozey.
The fireworks show will be accompanied by a vocal performance by “The Voice” season 29 winner Alexia Jayy.
How can I watch live?
TV viewers can watch on NBC or see it simulcast live on Peacock from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. EST and live to tape on Central, Mountain and Pacific times. A Spanish language simulcast will air on Telemundo starting at 8 p.m. EST.
The Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks has been a tradition since 1976.
