The fireworks show will be launched from barges along the Hudson River from approximately W. 14th St. to W. 34th St. in Manhattan.
“Think unforgettable stars, larger-than-life pyrotechnics and a salute to the American spirit that’s one of Summer’s Greatest Hits,” Macy’s recently stated.

What is Fubo and DirecTV Stream?
Both Fubo and DirecTV Stream are set up like any other streaming service, but rather than offering exclusively on-demand content, they both offer exclusive live TV channels. So like cable, but without the hassle.
Fubo considers itself a sports-focused live streaming service, but overall, its standard package comes with over 100 live TV channels for $79.99 a month after its free trial. These channels include ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS, TLC, MTV and much more.
Fubo also comes with a variety of shows and movies users can watch on-demand along with the option to record your favorite TV shows.
DirecTV Stream is similar to Fubo in that it offers many of the same channels and features. At $84.98 a month after its free trial, the base package comes with a little over 75 live TV channels.
