It's officially summertime, and you know what that means. It's time for us to get outside, enjoy the warm weather activities and celebrate one of the season's most thrilling events. That's right — we're gearing up for the Macy's Fourth of July Spectacular, which always draws in a major crowd both in-person and at home.
After hosting an exciting turn out last year, NBC is back to throw an Independence Day party that's always well remembered. Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge star Rutledge Wood and Access Hollywood TV personality Zuri Hall will host the two-hour festivities, culminating with the iconic fireworks overlooking the New York City skyline. What's more, folks can watch artists like Yellowstone star Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll and Bebe Rexha deliver performances worthy of a massive celebration. And if that's not enough, a number of other famous faces are also slated to make appearances throughout Fourth of July night.
Now, you may be wondering where you can watch the fireworks without leaving the comfort of your living room. Luckily, we figured out how to watch and stream the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks on TV and online.
