4th Of July Fireworks Over The Hudson Again
OK everyone - now you know where to see OR AVOID the July 4 crowds for weddings on July 4
A few years back, Macy's pissed off pretty much all of Brooklyn and Queens by moving their annual fireworks display to the Hudson River, so Hoboken basically got the best view. Those to the east retaliated with firework parties of their own, only occasionally blowing off their own arms. A few days ago, we got a tip indicating that the show might be relocating, but today comes the official word that yet again, the fireworks will be held over the Hudson.

This year's celebration is a double-whammy of patriotism, in honor of both America's 235th birthday and the Statue of Liberty's 125th. But we know what you're really curious about: the choreographed musical score that accompanies every show. This year's it's set to be a real doozy, "Featuring beloved Independence Day standards such as God Bless America and The Star Spangled Banner...and also some of the hottest pop songs of our times including hits from stars Taio Cruz, Everclear, Jennifer Hudson, Katy Perry and LeAnne Rimes," reads the Macy's press release. You hear that, Brooklyn? Maybe you don't want that show, after all.
