Fireworks light up the Manhattan skyline during the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks celebration on the East River at Brooklyn Bridge Park on July 4, 2025 in New York. New York does not treat Independence Day as a single-night event, and this year it barely treats it as a single week. The country is marking 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, and by coincidence that milestone falls in the same year as the 50th run of Macy's fireworks tradition, which began in 1976 as a Bicentennial gesture.
