NEW YORK (WABC) — The traditional Macy’s Fourth of July fireworks show will return to New York City this year after the pandemic forced changes to the celebration in 2020.
The fireworks will be launched from five barges in the East River starting at 9:25 p.m. tonight.
Simultaneously, the NYPD says there will be fireworks shot off oft he Empire State Building from the 72nd, 86th and 103rd floors.
Last year’s big show was replaced by several small, unannounced fireworks displays last year in order to prevent crowds from gathering during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
