Huntington Beach leaders have canceled ….
Huntington Beach leaders have canceled the city’s annual Fourth of July celebration that includes fireworks and the pier festival. People can stay safe at home and watch fireworks. Here are some options:
• A Capitol Fourth When: July 4, 8 p.m. ET How to watch: A Capitol Fourth is broadcast on PBS and can also be heard on NPR member stations nationwide.
This 40th annual event features a star-studded concert event and fireworks that go off above the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The event is covered from 20 cameras positioned around D.C., ensuring viewers are front and center for the greatest display of fireworks in the nation.
• Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks When: July 4, 8 p.m. ET How to watch: This event is broadcast live on NBC. For those who don’t have a television or cable subscription, NBC can be streamed online.
This year’s event is slated to look a little different. Rather than a single 25-minute show on Independence Day, Macy’s will instead hold several unannounced, smaller fireworks displays across New York City’s five boroughs. The smaller displays, held June 29-July 4, are meant to reduce crowds and encourage social distancing.
The mini displays will build up to a televised finale July 4 featuring the Empire State Building.
• 94th Annual Virtual AmericaFest Celebration
The Rose Bowl will host a virtual celebration, and there’ll be a flyover of a Pasadena, but no fireworks show this year. It will host a virtual event on the afternoon of Saturday, July 4, so Pasadena locals and international fans alike can tune in to the 94th Annual Virtual AmericaFest Celebration on Rose Bowl LIVE.
Focused around legacy and community-building, the onehour virtual event will feature celebrations of the United States veterans and military personnel, messages from the local community thanking first responders, frontline workers and their personal heroes for their work during COVID-19, and a salute to America with a message for why we celebrate the 4th of July.
At the culmination of the online-based event, there will be a flyover of Pasadena and its most historic landmarks.
The flyover will be viewable from many Pasadena resident’s homes, as well as streamed online, providing equal access to this free event for all.
