Mayor Adams' administration is giving away tickets starting at 8:30 Tuesday morning for good viewing spots for the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks show in New York City.
Tickets are being given out on a first-come, first-serve basis on the city's website. Folks can request up to four free tickets for Brooklyn Bridge Park or up to two tickets for The Seaport viewing area in Manhattan. The fireworks show will launch from barges along the East River, near the Brooklyn Bridge on Friday. All of Brooklyn Bridge Park will be a fully ticketed area, and guests must present a ticket for entry. This is the second year the city has released free tickets for the show. The public has complained in years past about police holding certain sections for private parties.
