Macy's will once again be helping the nation celebrate with a 4th of July fireworks spectacular in New York City.
Hundreds of thousands will gather along the East River to watch the fireworks that have been a part of the July 4th celebrations for the last 50 years.
And what a display it will be, with 50,000 pounds of fireworks to go off in time to music.

The musical score accompanying the display also includes the Military Salute and Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Celebrities bringing some extra sparkle to the NBC live stream include Enrique Iglesias, Ariana Grande, Miranda Lambert and Lionel Richie.
The live stream is being hosted by America's Got Talent's Nick Cannon and gets underway at 5pm ET/PT.
That gives plenty of time for those not able to make it in person to get warmed up ahead of the fireworks display kicking off at will be set off from the Brooklyn Bridge and barges on the East River. Beginning at 8 p.m. ET/PT or 7 p.m. CT/MT, the fireworks display will start in earnest at 9 p.m.
