Macy’s Fourth of July fireworks will take place over three nights in NYC

There will be July 4 fireworks in the Big Apple — just not the way New Yorkers are used to them.

The Macy’s Fourth of July fireworks show will be spread out in smaller displays over three nights in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday.

“This year is going to be different. It will not be like the past, where there’s one big giant show, we do not want a lot of people out watching,” the mayor said.

The individual light shows will run five minutes apiece in each borough sometime between June 29 and July 1 — with a grand finale that will air July 4th on NBC. That broadcast will feature a conglomeration of the smaller shows but also a live fireworks display along with musical acts.

“The idea is very brief bursts, brief but mighty,” de Blasio said at his daily press briefing.

Hizzoner called the plan “very powerful, very moving — but also very safe.”

The smaller displays are designed to keep large crowds at bay in an effort to prevent the spread of coronavirus. De Blasio said information on when the smaller displays will take place will be released closer to the day.
