🇺🇸 4th of July Events
This Weekend in NYC
Exercise your freedom to eat too many hot dogs and drink on a weekday with our roundup of 4th of July events! We’ve got it all: fireworks, live music, movie screenings, local festivals, and more.
🧨 Where to Buy Fireworks
Please Be Responsible!
Although most are illegal in NYC, just outside city limits, it’s a different story. If you're heading out of town for the 4th, here are a few spots beyond borders to get fireworks.
LOCALS ONLY
We know July is jam-packed, but don’t forget to take a second to look around! Not only does Manhattanhenge return, but there are also three meteor showers.
Need a quick reset after the weekend? Try one of the many free or donation-based yoga classes in NYC. It’s the perfect low-cost, high-reward activity.
