Macy's July 4th fireworks will return to Hudson River, giving New Jersey a front-row seat

New Jersey will have a clear view of the Macy's Fourth of July fireworks for the first time in over a decade as the sky will ignite with a bright array of colors above the Hudson River.

The holiday event, which has been running for nearly half a century, will launch its barrage of effects along the Hudson River, giving those in the Garden State perfect viewing for the show. The fireworks also will be visible from Manhattan between West 14th and West 34th streets.

In the past few years, the Macy's fireworks have launched from the East River, which makes this celebration special to New Jerseyans.

“New Jersey is proud to celebrate Independence Day this year with a dazzling display of fireworks plannedin collaboration with our neighbors across the Hudson,” Gov. Phil Murphy said in the event's press release. Murphy thanked New York City Mayor Eric Adams for helping New Jersey join this year's celebration of independence.

The area along the Hudson River is known as the Gold Coast and includes municipalities such as Hoboken, Weehawken and West New York.

The summer extravaganza hosted by Macy's Studios, with work by Pyro Spectaculars by Souza, offers unique ways to light up the sky. Last year was a "first-of-its-kind drone display," said Will Coss, executive producer of the Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks. "Our team has been hard at work developing new ways to surprise and delight our fans,” he said.
