The spectacular Macy's July 4th fireworks display is moving across town in 2009. To celebrate the 400th anniversary of the exploration of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson, Macy’s will stage a showstopping pyrotechnic show over the Hudson River instead of the East River this year.
The show will feature more than 40,000 shells exploding at a rate of more than 1,500 per minute (that's eight times more high-level fireworks than last year's show). At approximately 9:20 pm on July 4th, the 26-minute display will be set off from six barges positioned between 24th and 50th Streets on the Hudson River. Don't miss it! (more info...)

San Francisco's longest running free Lindy Hop venue Lindy In The Park was abruptly shut down last Sunday after being told they needed a music permit. Lindy In The Park celebrated swing dancing and free lessons for 13 years. Details on the SFGate website.
HINT: You might want to comment on the SFGate site if you want to keep this venerable swing institution going in the park! |
