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 2025, the fireworks returned to the East River and Brooklyn Bridge.

Years ago, we went to the pier and people who were at the end of the pier cheered because they saw fireworks from Manhattan. We were mid-pier and we only saw what was across the water.
If you are on the pier or you are on the Shore Road Bike Path, you will see some fireworks from across the water in Staten Island or Jersey.
1) You will can see fireworks in Coney Island at 9:30 pm:

Do not take your car to Coney Island or you will just sit in traffic – use the train.
Coney Island Fireworks are at 9:30 pm and are amazing! You can stand anywhere on the Boardwalk.
2) People in Bensonhurst say that by the water near Caesar’s Bar is a good location for fireworks (but it gets crowded)
3) Brooklyn Heights Promenade – but you have to get their early because everyone is going to try to be near there.
4) Cruise ships are having parties. Tickets are $70 – $250.00 tickets here

5) This boat in Red Hook, Brooklyn is going to be out on July 4th.


6) 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
Saint Anselm’s Parking Lot – 82nd Street and 4th Avenue
Dyker Heights – around 82nd and 83rd Street and 13th Avenue – amazing fireworks on these two blocks
12th Avenue and Bay Ridge Avenue
12th Avenue – from 75th Street to 79th Street
13th Avenue and 71st Street
