"Many people have probably wondered why we celebrate Independence Day with fireworks. It's because John Adams, the nation's second president, said so. He decreed that "this day of deliverance" be honored with "bells and bonfires and illuminations." Bells and bonfires galore will occur at Macy's 30-minute pyrotechnics show, which sports an appropriately patriotic theme -- "The Lights of Freedom." Starting at approximately 9PM, fireworks will launch from two locations: off 34th Street and below South Street Seaport on the East River. The FDR Drive between Houston and 63rd Street will be closed to traffic to accommodate the thousands of revelers lining up for the fireworks extravaganza. Arrive a few hours early to snag a spot (and take mass transit as parking near the event is next to impossible).

If you live in Queens or Brooklyn, skip coming into the city, find an unobstructed view of the East River (Joralemon Street or the Promenade in Brooklyn Heights is a great locale) and enjoy the show without being jostled by the mob.  And don't miss the Fourth of July all-genre American trance party at Boom!

and might I add, remember in the movie Independence Day it was President Whitmore who saved the day J
