I love fireworks, and love filming them. Enjoy these videos and photos of the fireworks I’ve had so much fun watching.
Fireworks, Yankee Stadium, July 3, 2024
The Spectacular Macy’s July 4th, 2021, Fireworks Spectacular
I traveled to Long Island City to watch the Fourth of July fireworks on the East River. The 2021 fireworks were truly wonderful, as I hope you can see from the video. I am finding all the cellphone cameras held in the air to be both irritating and a weird enhancement to the light show.
Vaccination Fireworks
On June 15, 2021, New York State announced that it had reached its goal of 70 percent vaccination. The celebration included fireworks across the state, including at Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan. This video, set to music by Joplin and Händel, was filmed from the promenade at the St. George Staten Island Ferry Terminal.
This video was shot in New Jersey to show off the New York City skyline as the Fireworks by Grucci light up the Big Apple for the Lunar New Year in 2020. Goodbye to the Year of the Pig, hello to the Year of the Rat.
I got stranded in Staten Island on July 4, 2019, because the ferry was shut down for the Macy’s Independence Day fireworks. So I “made lemonade” by the filming the fireworks from outside the ferry terminal.
I filmed the fireworks for the New York City Marathon on November 2, 2018, as I left Central Park in the evening.
