The iconic Tina Turner, a true pioneer in the music industry, will receive a special tribute at this year’s Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular in New York City.
The event, known for its stunning pyrotechnic displays, will feature a segment called the “Golden Mile,” where thousands of golden-hued shells will create a breath-taking cascade effect across the East River. This dazzling homage is a fitting tribute to the beloved singer, who passed away in May at the age of 83.

But the festivities don’t end there. The 47th annual event promises a lineup of incredible performances by renowned artists such as Ashanti, Bebe Rexha, Ja Rule, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, and the dynamic duo of LL Cool J and DJ Z-Trip, joined by The Roots.
With such a star-studded roster, the stage will undoubtedly be set ablaze with exceptional talent. Adding to the excitement, the broadcast will feature an impressive flyover along the coastline. What makes this flyover truly remarkable is that it will be executed by an all-female flight crew, celebrating the 50th anniversary of women serving as pilots in the Navy.
This inspiring tribute highlights the progress made in gender equality and showcases the remarkable achievements of women in traditionally male-dominated fields.
Throughout the event, viewers can anticipate special appearances by notable figures from the entertainment world. Caleb McLaughlin, known for his role in the hit series “Stranger Things,” the comedic genius George Lopez, Mayan Lopez, Raymond Lee of “Quantum Leap” fame, and even Team USA gymnasts will grace the stage and contribute to the electrifying atmosphere.
Jen Neal, the executive vice president of live event and specials at NBCUniversal entertainment and streaming, expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming telecast, noting its ability to captivate and inspire audiences year after year.
The fireworks display, a signature feature of the event, will illuminate the New York skyline with an unparalleled spectacle, solidifying its status as a must-see event that brings people together and showcases the unique offerings of both NBC and Peacock.
The Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular will take place between East 26th and East 40th streets along the East River. To ensure that no one misses out on the excitement, the event will be aired live on July 4 from 8-10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and will also be available for streaming on Peacock.
Prepare to be dazzled as this spectacular celebration lights up the sky, honouring Tina Turner’s indelible legacy and igniting the patriotic spirit within us all.
