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.

Extravagant fireworks display on July 4 across the United States, including Washington DC and NYC Macy's fireworks, marked the closure of 249th US Independence Day.
