New York, New York - Every year, Macy's treats New York City and a national audience to an awe-inspiring fireworks show for the Fourth of July. Here's how to watch the 48th annual Macy's fireworks spectacle for yourself!

There are few things more exciting than this typically New York celebration of America's independence.

You can look forward to not only an incredible array of fireworks, but maybe also drone displays and all sorts of exciting spectacles.

This year's Macy's fireworks display will start at 8 PM on Thursday, July 4, and will go on for 25 minutes, firing off around 60,000 shells from water barges.

Notably, the show is returning to the Hudson River after launching fireworks over the East River for 11 years.

If you're watching in person this time around, make sure to head over to the West Side for dedicated public viewing areas managed by NYPD from West 14 Street to West 34 Street. You can also spot the fireworks from New Jersey along the water.

Watching from the comfort of your home? You can watch the TV broadcast and stream the event on NBC & Peacock from 8 PM to 10 PM EST.

The show isn't just limited to fireworks, either. Last year, Macy's 2023 July 4th show included illuminated drones that came together to form patriotic symbols in the sky like flags, and even a huge spinning Statue of Liberty!

Stay tuned to see what surprises the Macy's team might have in store for the July 4 fireworks show this year!
