Celebrate Independence Day across the U.S. with fireworks, festivals and more.
Across the United States, the nation celebrates its independence from Great Britain with fireworks, parades and local traditions like flyovers, car shows and concerts. For those looking for all-American Fourth of July activities complete with waving flags and lots of red, white and blue, we’ve compiled a list of cities throughout the U.S. that will be celebrating in a big way.
Fireworks fanatics will be thrilled this year as the Macy’s pyrotechnics are once again launched from the Hudson River for the first time in more than a decade – meaning they can be seen from several locations in Manhattan and New Jersey. The spectacle will light up the New York Citynight with lights and sounds as thousands of fireworks shells are shot into the sky during one of the country’s largest Independence Day celebrations. Surprisingly, NYC does not host a commemorative parade. For those looking to escape the city, day-trippers can head to Long Island and Fire Island for beach activities, barbecues and fireworks festivities.
