Fired from five barges positioned between W. 14th St. and W. 34th St. in Manhattan on the Hudson River, pyrotechnics will reach 1,000 feet and fall to the water’s edge creating spectacular and unforgettable summer memories. Audiences across the nation can experience the spectacle, along with prime live viewing in New York and New Jersey along the shores of the Hudson River and through a two-hour live event on NBC and streaming live on Peacock.

“Each year, we gather to celebrate summer moments with friends and family – the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks sits at the center of those celebrations and captivates millions of spectators nationwide with breathtaking sights, striking sounds and showstopping performances by iconic artists and musicians, creating the nation’s largest Independence Day celebration and lasting memories,” said Will Coss, executive producer of Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks. “This year’s Fireworks will feature never before seen effects created for Macy’s, special surprise and delight moments and an exciting musical score of summer’s greatest hits, inspiring our audience nationwide.”

Inspired by Summer’s Greatest Hits, Macy’s new summer campaign, this year’s custom 25-minute musical score will celebrate the season with summertime favorites. Produced and arranged by Grammy and Emmy Award winner Jason Howland, the score will feature chart-topping musical talents, including Brandy Clark, Mickey Guyton and Amber Mark. Each will reimagine an iconic hit to create the ultimate summer soundtrack, featuring new sounds across a variety of genres and decades and interweaving patriotic anthems with contemporary hits. In addition to lending her talents to the musical score, Mickey Guyton will join “Access Hollywood’s” Zuri Hall to co-host this year’s festivities on NBC.

Before the fireworks light up the sky, a star-studded line up will take the stage live from New York City. Audiences can tune in to see exhilarating performances by Tanner Adell, Luis Fonsi, The War And Treaty and Lainey Wilson in advance of Macy’s multi-sensory pyrotechnic salute to the nation.

A beloved national tradition since 1976, the 2024 edition of the Fireworks will feature a custom-made effect that will debut in the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks. Featuring a silver cascading burst, this never-before-seen firework will create a center kaleidoscope and alternating red and blue as it fills the sky. Additional effects including cross rings, strobing comets, waterfalls, Saturn circles, crackling pistils and special ghost pyro that alternates colors featuring multiple hues, will dazzle viewers nationwide. The Macy’s Fireworks will culminate in a signature, fan-favorite moment, the Macy’s Golden Mile.
