NBC and Macy’s will light up the sky with America’s largest Independence Day celebration for the 50th Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks special.
The event will feature performances by Noah Kahan, Post Malone, Salt-N-Pepa, Bebe Rexha, Shaboozey, and Blake Shelton. The celebration will include more than 85,000 shells in 30 vibrant colors – paired with a laser show from the Brooklyn Bridge – to deliver breathtaking, awe-inspiring effects.
The telecast will air live on Saturday, July 4 (8-10 p.m. ET/PT) on NBC and simulcast live on Peacock. “Al Rojo Vivo’s” Jessica Carrillo and “En Casa con Telemundo’s” Carlos Adyan will host Telemundo’s Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks, airing from 8-10 p.m. ET/PT on Telemundo.
Produced by Grammy Award-winning composer Jason Howland, the 27-minute score will feature a live performance by NBC’s The Voice Season 29 winner Alexia Jayy. Inspired by the enduring spirit of America, the soundtrack reimagines the iconic sounds of more than 50 years of beloved summer classics.
Serving as the emotional heartbeat of the pyrotechnic display, the score, designed in perfect harmony with stage lighting and lasers, will set the tone for a powerful and unforgettable celebration.
The 50th edition of Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks will expand to both the lower East River in the Seaport District, the lower Hudson River in collaboration with Jersey City, and the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, firing from six barges and providing miles of prime public viewing to create a shared experience that connects more communities than ever.
