New York City’s annual fireworks display, held on July 4th over the East River, is one of the most iconic and highly anticipated events in the city. The display typically features more than 40,000 fireworks launched from barges positioned between 23rd and 42nd Streets. The event attracts millions of spectators each year, both in person and on television.
The fireworks display is organized by the Macy’s department store chain, which has been sponsoring the event since 1958. The display is designed to be a celebration of Independence Day and a gift to the people of New York City. The fireworks are choreographed to music, and the display often includes special effects, such as aerial stunts and pyrotechnic waterfalls.
