The 47th annual Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks returns to the East River on Tuesday, July 4, 2023.

This year’s show will launch 60,000 shells and effects from five barges positioned between E. 26th and E. 40th Streets along the East River, with prime viewing from Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.

New this year is a “waving flag” fireworks.

As always, the Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks are synchronized to music.

This year, one sequence honors the hit songs of superstar entertainer Tina Turner, who passed away recently.  The sequence features her iconic anthem “The Best” as thousands of golden-hued shells create a dramatic cascade effect stretching for more than a mile across the East River.

Also as always, the evening includes live performances by popular entertainers and also by military bands and choral groups, performing before the start of the fireworks and during the show.
