The biggest celebration in the area was the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks show. The 25-minute display lit up the sky over the East River, and with the Brooklyn Bridge as the backdrop, it was truly a spectacular sight witnessed by hundreds of thousands of spectators.

The 49th edition of the nation's largest July 4th celebration in New York City fired over 80,000 shells in 30 vibrant colors and used projection mapping to light up the Brooklyn Bridge.

Macy’s annual 4th of July Fireworks Show airs tonight. Here’s what time the special starts and how to watch the live celebration with musical performances.
