The nation's largest and most incredible birthday bash lights up the night sky with over 120,000 bursts of color, light and breathtaking pyrotechnics from around the world! Look to the night sky as vibrant blazes burst 1,000 feet in the air while the New York Pops serenade this celebration with a riveting soundtrack honoring America's diverse people and places.

Spectators can watch the fireworks from any point in Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens with unobstructed views of the sky above the East River. However, Battery Park is not recommended as a viewing site.
