macys fireworks east river esplanade MAIN - TodayHeadline


Cue the Katy Perry lyrics.

The Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks will once again illuminate the Big Apple in red, white and blue tomorrow night on the East River.

The 8 p.m. NBC broadcast, hosted live from Hunter’s Point Park, Queens, features a star-studded (and spangled) lineup of pre-taped musical talent, including Coldplay, Blake Shelton, the Jonas Brothers, Marshmello, Reba McEntire, OneRepublic and Black Pumas.

Some 350 drones will light up the sky to honor the Olympians on Team USA during the Jonas Brothers’ performance.

As for the fireworks, here are the best, free places to watch in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens once the sun goes down.

Gantry Plaza State Park

The Long Island City waterfront is home to the main event this Fourth of July.

NBC hosts Renée Elise Goldsberry and Ryan Eggold will be on air all night from Hunter’s Point on the Long Island City waterfront.

While that park will be closed off for the network, the connected Gantry Plaza State Park is open to public viewing and offers stellar views of the extravaganza, not to mention the Manhattan skyline.

4-09 47th Road, Long Island City, Queens

Roosevelt Island

Four Freedoms Park is holding a now-sold-out watch party on the island’s southernmost tip, but the adjacent Cornell Tech lawn will be open to the public on a first-come, first-serve basis starting at noon.

The lawn party will offer food trucks to make time fly before the show starts.

The Cornell Tech lawn opens publicly at noon Sunday. No seating offered so it is recommended to bring a chair or blanket. 1 E. Loop Road, Roosevelt Island
