In the United States, Independence Day (Forth of July) is a federal holiday that celebrates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. This is a celebration day that includes concerts, fairs, barbecues and, most importantly, fireworks! The most famous firework is the one that was organized by the Macy's department store, and they gave the biggest fireworks in the country. Their fireworks show the whole year to create, because it includes fireworks in time with music. The fireworks used are not ordinary fireworks; the display will feature over 120,000 fireworks from around the world, including those that create the shapes of stars, hearts and emoticons. The entire exhibition lasts about half an hour and usually runs along the Hudson River from Manhattan, so the best places for beautiful views are 12th Avenue and 59th Street along 11th Avenue. If you’re worried about getting a good overview, you have to cruise on the fourth of July with a water taxi that costs about $ 100 (about £ 60) and includes a box and a bar where you can buy beer or wine , the cruise leaves at around 6:30 pm and will return after the end of the fireworks, this guarantees you fantastic looks!
Another major American holiday is Thanksgiving, which has been an annual tradition in America since 1863. Thanksgiving is thanksgiving to God and is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. The biggest celebration in New York is the Thanksgiving Day Parade at Macy's; This is definitely one to watch because it contains some extravagant floats. In previous years, Snoopy, Buzz Lightyear, Kermit the Frog and Mickey Mouse were included. The farewell begins at 9:00 and usually lasts 3 hours. The balloons are inflated on the eve of the parade and are displayed next to the American Museum of Natural History, which gives the public the opportunity to see them in advance. In addition to the live performances, live music takes place outside Macy's store on Broadway and 34th Street.
