For the second year in a row the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks is returning to the Hudson River, snubbing its longtime staging ground over the East River.

This year's show, the 34th for Macy's, will unfold 9 p.m. on Sunday, July 4.

American Harmony, the theme of this year's pyrotechnic 
spectacular will celebrate the nation's unique musical voice, ranging from barbershop quartets to gospel, according to a Macy's release. 

Honoring America's 234th birthday, Macy's will fire more than 40,000 pyrotechnic shells during the 26-minute synchronized display. Designed in collaboration with SOUSA Fireworks, the show will be set off from six barges positioned in midtown Manhattan on the Hudson 
River. The display will fire approximately 1,500 shells per minute reaching heights of more than 1,000 feet, giving millions of spectators magnificent views.
