The Macy's 4th of July is back with a bang this year, and for the first time in over a decade, the fireworks spectacular will take place on the Hudson River, giving New Jersey a front row seat for the first time since 2013. FOX 5 NY speaks with Will Coss, the executive producer of this year's fireworks about what to expect.

NEW YORK CITY - Thousands of people are set to gather in New York City for the 48th annual Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Show.
