Brooklyn offers numerous festivities for Fourth of July, featuring the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, which starts with the women's competition and is followed by the men's contest. The iconic Macy's fireworks display is a highlight, scheduled for 9:25 p.m., with free tickets available for attendees. Additionally, the Brooklyn Cyclones will play a game on July 4, followed by a fireworks show. These events encourage community participation and create a festive atmosphere for Independence Day.
Few Independence Day traditions are as iconic as the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island. Held on the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues, the spectacle kicks off with the women's competition at 11 a.m., followed by the men's division at noon. Thousands of spectators gather each year to watch competitive eaters down dozens of hot dogs in just 10 minutes.
The crown jewel of Brooklyn Fourth of July celebrations is the Macy's fireworks display happening at 9:25 p.m. With launch areas including Brooklyn Bridge Park and other barges along the East River Seaport, the tradition has been a city staple for almost 50 years.
Mayor Eric Adams announced on Monday that the city will distribute 100,000 free tickets to interested attendees. He said the first 2,500 people to text "FIREWORKS" to 917-909-2288 would receive four free tickets ahead of the release.
The Brooklyn Cyclones will host the Hudson Valley Renegades on July 4 at 7 p.m. at Maimonides Park. After the game, they'll host their own fireworks display, and the first 2,500 fans in attendance will receive a Coney Island Franks cap.
