For Americans and non-Americans alike, the 4th of July has always been an exciting time to visit the USA.

Independence day is traditionally celebrated with fireworks, and organisations compete to host the most extravagant and impressive displays.

Macy's, in New York, boasts one of the most lavish pyrotechnical shows in Manhattan, and some say in the country.

The famous department store enjoys a reputation not only for consumer goods, but also for providing a real firework-fest.

Around 14,000 aerial shells explode from barges positioned in the water around the island, synchronised to music.

You too can watch the sky light up, and remember if you decide to experience the extravaganza in person, it might be best to ensure you are fully insured for your short break.
