“Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks will light up the New York City
skyline once again with the nation’s best and largest Independence
Day celebration,” said Susan Tercero, executive producer of Macy’s
4th of July Fireworks. “We are excited to once again work with our
partners in the City of New York to make the iconic Brooklyn Bridge
the star of our show. With a barrage of stunning shells and effects
launching from its grand span and towers, along with tens of
thousands more effects coloring the night from barges on the lower
East River, this year’s display promises to be a spectacle to
remember.”
Since 1976, Macy’s Fireworks have grown in scale and artistry as
they burst to life over many of New York City’s waterways and
neighborhoods. Incorporating landmarks and celebratory milestones
is a Macy’s Fireworks signature. Macy’s last showcased the Brooklyn
Bridge when its structure served as the launchpad for key moments
in the 2014 show. This year’s presentation will add three times
more pyrotechnic firepower as Macy’s creative team expands the
design to include more dazzling and intricate effects firing from
locations spanning the entire bridge. On Independence Day, millions
of spectators will enjoy jaw-dropping effects launching from more
than a dozen points off the famed Brooklyn landmark throughout the
25-minute display.
Macy’s glittering spectacle is made possible in part by
GoBowling.com™, Green Giant®, New York Life, Pier 17 at The Seaport
District and The Howard Hughes Corporation, SOUR PATCH KIDS® Candy,
with the Official Countdown by Bulova, and is presented in
partnership with the City of New York. Revelers lining viewing
locations are encouraged to enjoy the full Macy’s Fireworks
experience by tuning in to radio station 1010 WINS to hear the
musical score to which the show is choreographed. Spectators from
coast-to-coast will also have a front row view of the pyro in the
sky by tuning to NBC’s national broadcast of “Macy’s 4th of July
