The Macy’s Fourth of July fireworks is expected to go out with a bang as the show returns Sunday, after a hiatus last year due to the pandemic.
The display will light up the sky once again in what's expected to be the city's biggest fireworks show yet.
65,000 shells and effects will be launched from barges along the East River in Manhattan - that's compared to 25,000 in 2019.
The show will start just before 9:30 p.m.
