Where Can You See Fireworks in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn?
Updated: July 4, 2024
Can you see the fireworks from the 69th Street Pier in Bay Ridge?
Some years, you could see the Macy’s Fireworks from the 69th Street Pier, but in 2024, the fireworks returned to the Hudson and the barges are too far up, so they say most of Brooklyn will not see them.
Years ago, we went to the pier and people who were at the end of the pier cheered because they saw fireworks from Manhattan.
If you are are further back on the pier or you are on the Shore Road Bike Path, you will see fireworks from across the water in Staten Island or Jersey.
1) You will see amazing fireworks in Coney Island:
Do not take your car to Coney Island or you will just sit in traffic – use the train.
Coney Island Fireworks are at 9:45 pm and are amazing! You can stand anywhere on the Boardwalk from West 10th Street to West 23rd Street to see the show!
2) A rooftop in DUMBO:
a) Fornino – rooftop pizzeria on Pier 6 at Brooklyn Bridge Park (here)
b) Harriet’s Rooftop at 60 Furman Street – $60 a person (here)
3) Cruise ships are having parties. Tickets are $70 – $250.00 tickets here
**If you are going to one of the piers in Manhattan, go early because they close them off around 6:30 or 7:30 pm (like they do in Manhattan on New Years Eve).
4) Last year, we walked around Dyker Heights for some unofficial fireworks. They put on a good show!
3rd Avenue and 74th Street had the sky lit up in 2023.
5th Avenue in the 80’s in Bay Ridge had a huge display last year
