Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks

There are multiple places to see the Macy’s 4th of July fireworks in Manhattan, and this time I went to Gantry Plaza State Park in Long Island City right across the East River to watch them. I got there soon before the fireworks were scheduled to begin at 9:25pm, and it was PACKED! I managed to find a spot with a view of the Empire State Building thankfully.

This is how I took pictures and videos of the fireworks –

This is what it was actually like to be there!!

And here are some pictures from the evening, and you can see a half moon through the smoke in the background in some pictures –

The grand finale was this person I caught on my way back home –
