Macy's July 4th Fireworks along the East River Provide Good Viewing from Manhattan, Brooklyn & Queens and are Remotely Viewable from Northern Staten Island & the Southern tip of the Bronx
The Macy's 4th of July fireworks will be shown along the East River this year. They were shown along the East River in 2014 for the first time since 2008, and have remained on the East River ever since. Mayor de Blasio had lobbied the change, which now spans eight years. The Grucci Brothers will be doing the Macy's 4th of July fireworks in NYC, which they've been doing for decades.

1. Macy's July 4th Fireworks from Staten Island
In 2009 the Macy's 4th of July fireworks were moved to the Hudson River on Manhattan's west side. We were informed they'd moved it to the Hudson River to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's discovery of the river. The Macys 4th of July fireworks display remained there until July 4th 2014 when the Macy's 4th of July fireworks returned to the East River.
4th Of July Fireworks Staten Island 2021 - Barge Locations / Local Viewing Spots
Since 2014 the Macy's 4th of July fireworks have been lit upon the East River within viewing range of all five boroughs [although a quite a distance from northern Staten Island and the south Bronx]. There will be five barges this year. The number of barges varies from year to year - generally between four and five. The barges will be positioned in the East River between the equivalent of the Brooklyn Bridge / 23rd Street and 42nd Street on the Manhattan side, and 48th Avenue in Long Island City Queens and the Brooklyn Bridge / Green Street in Williamsburg / Greenpoint in Brooklyn.
The positioning of the barges and the number of them is designed to maximize the viewing options for an audience estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands. The show will be more easily viewable from the northeast shores of Staten Island by the St. George Ferry Station as well as the National Lighthouse Museum, and even better views from the Staten Island Ferry.
2. Coney Island July 4th Fireworks in Brooklyn NYC 2021
The Coney Island fireworks will begin shortly after the Macy's 4th of July fireworks end on the East River on July 4th, 2021. This is generally a bit before 10 pm. The Coney Island 4th of July fireworks will be held on the beach generally in the area of the Steeple which is at xyz. This is a free event.
3. Conference House / Tottenville 4th of July Fireworks Staten Island - from Perth Amboy in the Raritan Bay
Unfortunately, the Perth Amboy fireworks display over the Raritan Bay have been put on hiatus again this year, due to the CoVid pandemic. So folks on the southern end of Staten Island, who normally can enjoy the show from the Conference House park in Tottenville, will have to wait another year.
