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.

The rest of the playlist focuses on American classics that pay homage to the nation’s musical trailblazers.

Expect to hear “The Star Bangled Banner,” “America the Beautiful,” “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” and a special performance of an original work titled “Sea to Shining Sea” written and performed by The United States Army Field Band’s rap duo Nico & Lamar with Ray Chew.

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.
