Fireworks light up the sky in NYC for America 250 celebration

Thousands of spectators decked out in red, white and blue gathered across the Big Apple to watch the 50th Annual Macy’s 4th of July fireworks show — a dazzling spectacle that was nothing short of a patriotic pyrotechnic miracle.

The sparkling showcase kicked off at 9:02 p.m. after being brought forward due to looming bad weather and was bigger than ever to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.
