How to watch the July 4, 2020 fireworks shows on TV and online

The celebrations of July 4 of this year will probably not be in full force, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic and restrictions of social distancing. But while we can all be trapped inside instead of gathering for roasts, beers, and fireworks, that doesn’t mean we have to overlook the festivities entirely. New York City and Washington, DC, along with many other venues across the country, will continue to host their famous annual fireworks in 2020, and you can stream them live from the comfort of your home.

You can catch the Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks July 4 at 8 / 7c on NBC or the NBC app. Not much is known about the pre-show due to the fact that there will be no live performances on a main stage, but we do know that John Legend, The Black-Eyed Peas and Tim McGraw will stop during the live broadcast. . In another unusual twist, NYC and Macy’s have decided to split the normally massive fireworks display into smaller screens across the five boroughs, meaning they’ll be able to see a lot more of New York than just the East River this year, too.

If you don’t want to party with the New York, DC celebration, A fourth capitol, will also be available to air on July 4 at 8 / 7c on PBS, PBS.org and the show’s Facebook page. The event will be practically hosted by Vanessa Williams and John Stamos, with musical performances by Patti LaBelle, The Temptations, and more.

And remember, no matter how you convey our country’s wonderful divorce from the British, wear a mask if you venture into the Fourth!
