Mayor Bill de Blasio and Macys announced Thursday that the iconic Macys 4th of July Fireworks show will return as a live holiday spectacle on New Yorks East River this Independence Day.
The news comes after last years annual July 4 celebration was transformed into a series of pre-recorded, smaller fireworks displays around the city as the country battled the COVID-19 pandemic.
Macys described this years comeback show as a jaw dropping pyrotechnic salute to American bravery and optimism in an incomparable barrage of color, light, shape and sound.
