The event (concert and fireworks) takes place on the Esplanade in Boston along the Charles River.

Head south to Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks in NYC, and view them anywhere you have an unobstructed view of the Hudson River. They will light up the sky over the Hudson River at 9:20 PM on the 4th for a 26-minute show. Macy’s even worked hard to make sure they got fireworks that reach higher in the air so it can be seen all over the city.
The best view will be on Manhattan’s West Side between 23rd and 59th Streets and along New Jersey’s water front.
Ignite the Night is the theme of the 2012 fireworks spectacular. The score will feature songs chosen by Macy's Facebook fans, including Ray Charles' "America the Beautiful," Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A.", Madonna's "Holiday," Whitney Houston's "One Moment in Time," and more.
