Celebrate the Fourth of July with a dazzling evening on the waterfront at the South Street Seaport Museum, where you’ll enjoy one of New York City’s most iconic fireworks displays from a truly special vantage point. Set along the East River, the Museum’s historic Pier 16 offers unparalleled front-row views of the 49th edition of Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks®, which will launch from the Brooklyn Bridge and four barges stretching right in front of the Museum, from the bridge to Pier 6.

Bring your friends, family, and festive spirit for this backyard-style Independence Day celebration filled with excitement, color, and the thrill of fireworks lighting up the New York City skyline. There are two viewing areas to choose from at Pier 16 - Red and Blue. Both areas promise great views and an incredible waterfront experience.

To complete the celebration, all ticket holders can purchase delicious food and refreshing drinks from Cobble Fish, which will have food and drink stations throughout the pier. A variety of festive favorites will be available - think hot dogs, burgers, and lobster rolls, plus ice-cold Margaritas, cocktails, beer, lemonade, and iced tea. Come hungry; there’s something for everyone!

This is an all-ages experience you won’t want to miss. All attendees over the age of one year old must have a ticket to enter. Infants do not require their own ticket. Take advantage of early-bird tickets now and get ready to enjoy your glowing evening on Pier 16. Access to the pier will begin at 6:30pm and the sky come alive with fireworks from 9:25pm to 10pm.
