Celebrate Freedom: From NYC to DFW – Join the Fun at these 2017 Independence Day Activities
The Sandy Hibbard Creative team wishes all of our clients, friends and families a safe and fun Independence Day holiday. We are thankful for the blessing to live in this country where we are free to explore our dreams, live where we want to, worship as we desire, and choose the path we want for our lives.
Since our team hails from Dallas AND from New York City, with offices in Dallas and Brooklyn, I wanted to provide you with a list of activities you can take advantage of in both areas of the country. I hope you will take the time to get out to one of these wonderful events during the long weekend and enjoy your city!
Happy 4th of July!
Sandy and the Sandy Hibbard Creative team.

ACTIVITIES IN AND AROUND MANHATTAN & BROOKLYN:
NOTE: Just a reminder that the fireworks have moved this year. That’s right. None near the bridges. They’ll be in the East River from 24th to 41st streets, so keep that in mind when choosing where to head Tuesday.
Macy’s 4th of July Firework Viewing spots
Brooklyn
- Grand Ferry Park, Williamsburg: The waterfront park in Williamsburg may be a little far away from the top viewing locations for the Macy’s fireworks, but you should still be able to see them from a distance away from the crowds.
Manhattan
- FDR Drive: How often can you say you got to walk on the FDR? Public viewing will be set up along elevated portions of the FDR Drive. The lanes will be opened to the public around 7 p.m. with access at Houston, 23rd, 34th and 42ndstreets.
- East River Park, Lower East Side: The large park should be another great place to see the display.
Queens
- Gantry Plaza State Park, Long Island City: One of the few places in Queens to catch the fireworks, so get there early.
