What is more American than enjoying some fireworks on the Fourth of July? Not much! New Yorkers have plenty of options when it comes to great firework displays this coming holiday, and we assembled a list of seven of our favorite. Take a look below, and start planning now! For those wondering “where to watch fireworks near me”, we think these are some of the best choices in the entire state.
1. Red, White & BOOM at LEGOLAND – Hudson Valley
2. Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks – New York City
It would be hard to find a more iconic New York City fireworks celebration than the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks. This year, it returns to the Hudson River after a 10 year absence. Viewers should get ready for a very epic fireworks show that can go toe-to-toe with anything in the country.
3. Lake Placid 4th of July – Lake Placid
4. July 4th Fireworks Spectacular – Poughkeepsie
The July 4th Fireworks Spectacular in Poughkeepsie lives up to its name. Those who buy tickets to this event will be able to enjoy the fireworks from the Walkway Over the Hudson, which offers unobstructed views that are sure to dazzle revelers of all ages.
5. Independence Night Celebration at the Ballpark – Greater Niagara
How about celebrating Independence Day a day early, and watching some baseball at the same time? That’s what KeyBank’s Independence Eve with the BPO promises to do. There is great food, a great Buffalo Bisons minor league baseball game, and even a post game concert from the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. There are also fireworks—the largest show at the park of the season.
6. Albany’s 4th of July Celebration – Capital-Saratoga
7. Fireworks over Boldt Castle – Thousand Islands-Seaway
We don’t even have to sell this one that hard, because the event speaks for itself: It’s fireworks over a castle! The fireworks will be launched from the Boldt Castle ground, and many will watch from the shores of Alexandria Bay. For this looking for a truly special fireworks experience, this is the one.
Clearly, New Yorkers have a great variety of fireworks shows to choose from if they’re looking for “where to watch fireworks near me”. For those that are going to take a road trip to one of these displays, we made a great road trip packing list to make sure all travelers have everything they need. And for those going to check out the fireworks in New York City and are looking for a place to stay, we recommend Delta Hotels by Marriott New York Times Square.
