Brooklyn, rejoice! Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks returning to East River once again
The Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks will once again illuminate the skies over Brooklyn this year, with rockets blasting off from two locations in the East River, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Friday.
In midtown, four barges will be positioned between 23rd and 37th streets. Further south, one double-barge will be located below the Brooklyn Bridge.
This marks the fireworks’ 40th anniversary – and will commemorate the nation’s 240th birthday. The show will begin at 9:25 p.m.
