With the Macy’s Fireworks relocating to the Hudson River this year, Hoboken will be host to tens of thousands of guests on July 4th. To assure the welfare of both residents and visitors, the City of Hoboken has established a comprehensive public safety action plan.
The fireworks display will begin at 9:20 pm and last 26 minutes with approximately 1,500 bursts per minute.
Due to the closure of Hudson Place, Vezetti Way (Observer Highway) from Washington St. to Willow Ave. will be the designated taxi area with no public parking after 8 am.
In addition to being a prime location for viewing the annual Macy’s fireworks show over the Hudson River, Hoboken will also present a special 4th of July Festival along Frank Sinatra Drive between 1st Street and approximately where Sinatra would intersect 7th Street from noon until 10pm.
The festival will feature artists, crafters, photographers, food vendors, rides, games, live music and more – all against the gorgeous backdrop of the New York skyline.
On Sunday, July 4th, Hoboken will be a prime location for viewing the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Celebration on the Hudson River. We are expecting thousands of friends, family and neighbors from surrounding communities to visit our City to celebrate and view the fireworks.
It is also a day where participants must exercise good judgment to ensure an orderly and safe event.
