STATEMENT BY BROOKLYN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRESIDENT AND CEO CARLO A. SCISSURA ON RETURN OF MACY’S 4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS SHOW TO EAST RIVER

April 14, 2014

“We are thrilled that Terry Lundgren and the organizers of the Macy’s 4th of July Firework Show have decided to bring the display back to the East River where it belongs. The best views are going to be right here in Brooklyn, from the Brooklyn Heights promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park to the Williamsburg and Greenpoint waterfronts.  With more than 3 million spectators expected to visit the City for the celebration, this is a boon to Brooklyn’s businesses and residents. We encourage everyone to make a weekend of it and explore all that Brooklyn has to offer.”
