Macy's 4th of July Fireworks

THERE will be NO Macy’s Fireworks for Long Island City in 2025. For the second year in a row, they will be not be held here. Yes, the fireworks will be held on the East River, but they will be centered down by the Brooklyn Bridge. Yes, feasibly you could see them if you stood on the Gantry piers, but they’ll have less visual and auditory impact than a self-launched bottle rocket or roman candle. Don’t let the uninformed mislead you, your time is better spent elsewhere.

THERE will not be fireworks on the East River for the Fourth of July this year. Instead, Macy’s has moved their annual celebration to the Hudson River for 2024, a location that hadn’t been used since 2013.

“NO Parking Tuesday” arrives tomorrow. Not Taco Tuesday, not Two-for-Tuesday, when the pink signs everywhere in Hunters Point say “No Parking Tuesday” then it must be July 4, 2023!!!
