[2018 6th Street rooftop view of the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks]
In case you are planning to watch the 4th of July Fireworks tomorrow (July 4!) ... you're likely not going to have that view as in did in recent years from your neighbor's roof on Sixth Street (or wherever you may have had roof access...)
This year, Macy's has moved the barges to below the Brooklyn Bridge, which is the star of the show...
So...
Last year, the barges were placed on the river between 23rd Street and 40th Street ... Flashback!
[2018]
This year, the northernmost point that Macy's suggests on its Where-to-Watch map is Montgomery Street and Cherry Street.
And via the Macy's press release...
Since 1976, Macy’s Fireworks have grown in scale and artistry as they burst to life over many of New York City’s waterways and neighborhoods. Incorporating landmarks and celebratory milestones is a Macy’s Fireworks signature. Macy’s last showcased the Brooklyn Bridge when its structure served as the launchpad for key moments in the 2014 show.
This year’s presentation will add three times more pyrotechnic firepower as Macy’s creative team expands the design to include more dazzling and intricate effects firing from locations spanning the entire bridge. On Independence Day, millions of spectators will enjoy jaw-dropping effects launching from more than a dozen points off the famed Brooklyn landmark throughout the 25-minute display.
The fireworks start at 9:20 p.m. And for some reason if you're going to be driving around, here are street closures via NBC 4.
