New York City Fireworks Spectacular July 4

2005 Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular at the South Street Seaport
The nation's largest and most amazing birthday bash lights up the sky over the East River with over 120,000 bursts of color and light stretching from midtown to the South Street Seaport. These breathtaking pyrotechnics are choreographed to Skitch Henderson and The New York Pops' performance of the musical score, "American Medley" arranged exclusively for Macy's 2005 Fireworks Spectacular! There are three locations in which fireworks are planned to go off that evening in New York City: South Street Seaport, 34th Street, and Liberty Landing in New Jersey. Follow the magic on NBC-TV or listen to the broadcast on 1010 Wins radio.

9:00pm. South Street Seaport, FDR Drive and Hudson River views south of the Brooklyn Bridge. Check http://www.macys.com/campaign/fireworks/index.jsp for more information.
