On June 23, Mayor de Blasio announced a fireworks plan in celebration of the 4th of July that will reach every borough for the first time ever. From June 29th to July 1st and on July 4th, a series of 5 minute fireworks displays will launch from various land and water-based locations across New York City. The displays will be a surprise and not announced in advance.

The NBC broadcast musical score will include a special salute to America’s frontline workers, who have served our city and country tirelessly during this time.
