Five Best Places for July Fourth Fireworks and Concerts

Macy's Annual July Fourth Fireworks in NYC is largest in US

The Fourth of July and fireworks displays go together like hot dogs and mustard, kids and ice cream.  Here are five of the best places in the United States to watch Fourth of July fireworks:

New York City — The biggest and best, of course, is the annual Macy’s Fourth of July fireworks display.  This year again, the pyrotechnics are from barges parked in the Hudson River, near the Statue of Liberty, who will be basking in the glow of 40,000 shells in a 26-minute  display synchronized to music.   A special symphony of patriotic music, Broadway show tunes and other favorites is being provided  by The New York Pops orchestra, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir as well as a capella, gospel, choral groups and barbershop quartets.  There’s a FREE download of the music on the Macy’s website. The show is being televised by NBC at 9 p.m. EST, which will be broadcasting from the brand new cruise ship Norwegian Epic, berthed in the Hudson River.
