The Brooklyn Bridge will serve as a dramatic stage for dazzling pyrotechnics as the 38th annual “Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks\u00ae Spectacular” returns to the East River. Set to deliver the nation’s largest display of patriotic firepower and ready to dazzle more than three million spectators and millions on television, the Macy’s Fireworks will be launched from barges positioned on the lower East River.<\/p>\n

Incorporating landmarks and milestones is a Macy’s Fireworks signature. Macy’s last showcased the Brooklyn Bridge in its fireworks spectacle in 1995. This year’s creative presentation of the bridge’s renowned architecture will reach new heights of imagination during the 25-minute display.<\/p>\n
