The multimillion-dollar Macy's July 4th Fireworks show will feature more than 70,000 pyrotechnic effects -- and 5 new fireworks.
The 43rd Annual Macy’s 4th of July fireworks display will blast off from the Brooklyn Bridge at around 9:20 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, returning to the New York landmark for the first time since it served as the launch pad for the 2014 showcase.
This year’s Macy’s M, -0.81% event is slightly smaller than the 2018 display, which featured more than 75,000 explosive effects, in part because it has relocated to a narrower area of the East River compared to last year’s location. But the 25-minute star-spangled spectacle still promises to be one of the nation’s biggest Independence Day blowouts, with the Brooklyn Bridge taking center stage.
And that includes five new fireworks, such as: Wolf Whistles, Little Snakes, Hidden Happy Faces, Revolving Dragons and Multicolor Meteor Mines. Tercero hinted that the names describe the shapes or the sounds of the exploding shells. “Some of those were created just for the Macy’s show,” she said.
