New York
An already beautiful city skyline is about to shine even more — with fireworks. Organizers of Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks in New York say that with 20 new displays, it’s the country’s largest fireworks by the numbers. The fireworks, launched from seven barges stationed along the East River, will soar three times higher than the Statue of Liberty.
The colorful display will air live on NBC on July 4, starting at 8 p.m. ET, and Kelly Clarkson will sing a rendition of “God Bless America,” marking the 100th anniversary of the penning of the famous song by Irving Berlin.
