Sign The Online Petition To Move July 4 Fireworks Back To East River For 2013 So That They Can Be Seen From Roosevelt Island, Queens, Brooklyn and East Side Of Manhattan


Would you like the July 4 Macy's Fireworks to be set off from the East River next year so that they can be seen from Roosevelt Island, Brooklyn and Queens as they were prior to being moved to the Hudson River in 2009?

Reported last July 3 on NYC Public Advocate Bill de Blasio's online petition to bring Macy's July 4 Fireworks back to the East River. Today, Roosevelt Island resident Jeff Escobar reminded me of the petition and suggests that those Roosevelt Islanders who want the Macy's July 4 Fireworks returned to the East River still have time to sign the petition. Mr. de Blasio will be meeting with Macy's officials soon so sign the petition if you want the fireworks returned to the East River for next year.

You can sign the online petition here and this is what the 2008 East River Macy's July 4 Fireworks looked like from Roosevelt Island

No matter how many people sign the petition,it will never happen. The city makes more money with it on the westside,its cheaper for the city to do it on the westside,and even though its nyc fireworks,people in two states get to see and make money off of it. It's not coming back to the eastside. Sorry people
