AT Central Astoria Waterfront Concert ,Thursday, June 30 from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm, tey celebrate with fireworks and mBig Band Music with Joe Battaglia and the New York Big Band. That is to followed by a spectacular Grucci fireworks display.
Fireworks are also scheduled tonight at 9 at Orchard Beach, though festivities start even earlier, at 6:30 pm.
Then the main fireworks show that people associate with New York, of course, will take place on Independence Day itself on the Hudson River, as it has been for the past couple of years.The Macy's Annual Fireworks is scheduled to start around 9 PM on July 4th.
