Proceeds from this event will go to the benefit of the various historic ships in New York. To name only a few: Waterfront Museum Barge; Tug Pegasus; Fireboat John J. Harvey.

Where:
Pier 66 Maritime
West 26th Street and the Hudson River
New York, NY 10001
Enter at 26th Street and 11th Avenue.

The North River Historic Ship Society is pleased to offer an exclusive opportunity to view Macy's Fourth of July fireworks on the Hudson River. Proceeds will benefit historic ship programming.

Six fireworks barges are anchored in the river between West 24th and 50th Streets. Public viewing spots will be set up along the way, but the New York City Police Department will be limiting access to piers.

Thanks to the generosity of Pier 66 Maritime, the non-profit North River Historic Ship Society will host an exclusive party from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m on the roof of the pier at 26th Street and the Hudson River.

This will be the best viewing location on the river, as the roof is elevated and there are no crowds. Access is limited to the first 100 people who buy tickets.

The event features an open bar, food, fireworks music, and table seating. You must purchase your tickets in advance, as you will need to show them to the NYC Police Department for access to the pier area.

The fireworks will take place from 9:20 to 9:50 p.m. The pier roof will be open from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
