Best places to watch the Macy's 4th of July fireworks in NYC 2024

Whether it's 1,100 feet above Manhattan or afloat the Hudson, the Macy's 4th of July fireworks can be seen from a variety of free, fun and fancy locations throughout the city.

Where are the Macy's fireworks this year?

The fireworks will launch from the Hudson River for the first time in 10 years. For the past nine years, the fireworks launched out of the East River, meaning Brooklyn and Queens had front-row seats to the spectacle.

New Jersey will also finally have the chance of getting the perfect view for the fireworks show in parts of Hoboken and Jersey City.

"Excited to announce that — for the first time in over a decade — New Jersey will have a front row seat to @Macys Annual Fourth of July Fireworks!" NJ Gov. Phil Murphy posted to X.

In Manhattan, there are many viewing spots between West 14th and West 34th Streets.

"This year’s Macy’s 4th of Fireworks display will launch an inspiring spectacle of patriotic color, light and sound from the Hudson River for the first time in more than a decade. Marking the nation’s largest Independence Day celebration, the display will offer a showstopping and high-flying salute to the nation," Will Coss, Executive Producer of Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks said.
