The Macy’s Fourth of July fireworks will shoot off from both the East River and the Hudson — a rare spectacle as New York City gears up to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.
The iconic, patriotic fireworks show by Macy’s — which is also marking its own half-century anniversary — is planned to illuminate the Brooklyn Bridge and delight spectators from both the Big Apple and Jersey City.

“We are proud to celebrate our 50th anniversary with a once in a generation experience filled with emotional storytelling and signature spectacle to connect millions of people nationwide,” said Sharon Otterman, chief marketing officer for Macy’s, in a statement.
The annual pyrotechnic extravaganza has alternated between the East and Hudson rivers over the years, but seldom is held in both waterways.

One exception was in 2000, when Macy’s held its fireworks show in both rivers following a massive ship gathering.
For this year, Macy’s originally tried to get permits from New York City for fireworks barges in the Hudson River, but city officials denied the company because of a conflict with the Sail250 ship gathering that morning, sources said.
The NYPD — which will be pulling 12-hour shifts to deal with July 4 crowds, America’s 250th anniversary, the World Cup and, perhaps, Taylor Swift’s wedding — didn’t have enough cops to spread out on both sides of Manhattan to provide security for the fireworks shows, the sources said.
The denial prompted Macy’s to request — and ultimately receive — a permit from New Jersey, where two fireworks barges will be anchored off Jersey City, according to sources.

Jersey City’s official viewing access points include the Colgate Clock and several areas along Hudson Street, except from Exchange Place, organizers said.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani held a now-closed lottery giving away 100,000 free tickets for prime East River viewing areas in Brooklyn Bridge Park and Manhattan’s Seaport.
Those ticketed areas cover Piers 1-6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park and Seaport Square.
Non-ticketed public viewing areas for the East River show will be open along the FDR Drive, but officials had yet to release details as of Tuesday afternoon.

Brooks Nader Narrowly Avoids Wardrobe Malfunction While Going Braless in Plunging Dress on a Yacht
Brooks Nader’s sizzling hot style isn’t going anywhere — despite her frequent wardrobe malfunctions.
Nader, 28, took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, June 30, to show off a risqué look while enjoying a yacht getaway. In the clip, which she filmed inside her bathroom, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model rocked a black dress featuring a plunging neckline that exposed her cleavage. The rest of her dress was complete with a halter neckline, an open back and sides that dipped so low her fans got a front row seat to her sideboob.
Nader was quick to adjust her dress while turning to the side, ensuring that she didn’t spill out of the number. One of her sisters then shoved Brooks out of the frame to get her moment in the spotlight, causing Brooks to grab the front of her dress to conceal herself. In true older sister fashion, Brooks pushed her right back.
The Love Thy Nader star accessorized her daring look with oversized black shades, a chunky cross necklace and matching earrings.

For glam, she donned sunkissed skin and glossy lips. She pulled her blonde hair back into an updo and gave the camera a pout.
This isn’t the first time Nader nearly had a nip slip. Last month, she ended up topless during Miami Swim Week while swimming in a little red dress featuring off-the-shoulder straps. She ended up sitting on a man’s shoulders, causing her strap to fall down her chest. Nader handled it like a pro, quickly covering up by placing her hand over her chest. She attempted to fix the dress, but the number, which was then drenched with water, clung to the model’s body.
Nader previously opened up to Us Weekly about her nip slips, laughing, “You said it, not me! This is true. I have been known to have a nip slip every now and then. That’s why it’s so shocking I’m getting this [Breakthrough Fashion Talent] award, but I’m honored.”

Skip to main content Royal FamilyQueen Camilla blasted as ‘deplorable’ for posting photo with J.K. Rowling at palace during Pride Month

Add Page Six on GoogleQueen Camilla ignited anger for posting an Instagram pic with J.K. Rowling — given the timing and the author’s controversial trans views.
Taking to Instagram Tuesday, the wife of King Charles III shared a picture of herself and the “Harry Potter” author posing together at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Scotland.
Camilla, 78, dressed in an all-blue outfit and stood side by side with Rowling, 60, who wore a white blazer over a navy blue blouse and trousers. The queen noted that the two had a “shared passion for books” and a “deep commitment” to children reading for pleasure.
“Her Majesty and Ms Rowling discussed the importance of ensuring that young people have access to books and the vital part reading plays in opening doors for future generations,” the caption read in part.

Critics took to the comments section to call out Camilla for posting a pic with Rowling during Pride Month — an observance every June to celebrate the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) community — given Rowling’s public anti-trans views.
“As an admirer of the Queen and her Reading Room I’m deeply disappointed in her giving a platform to JKR, any month but especially during Pride Month,” one person wrote. “There are many other admirable individuals to spotlight who champion reading for children and young people.”
Another user commented, “During pride month, is a statement.”
“trans rights are human rights 🏳️⚧️❤️,” multiple others wrote.

One Instagram user even called the royal “deplorable.”
“AND During pride month no less 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 I stand with the LGBTQI+ community ✊🏼,” the user continued.
However, some defended Rowling, noting that she was entitled to her own opinions.
“There is a clear double standard when people with large platforms say things you agree with and are celebrated for it, but someone who expresses a different opinion is condemned and attacked,” one person argued in the comments section. “That kind of inconsistency comes across as biased.”
In October 2023, Rowling shared a photo on social media reading, “Repeat after us: Trans women are women,” with the caption, “No.” She said she would willingly go to jail for her views.
“I’ll happily do two years if the alternative is compelled speech and forced denial of the reality and importance of sex,” Rowling wrote.

The author has continued to speak out on trans rights, creating a rift between major “Harry Potter” stars like Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, who have publicly denounced her views.
Last May, Rowling hit back in a scathing essay when multiple “Harry Potter” actors signed a pro-trans open letter after the UK Supreme Court ruled that the terms “woman” and “sex” refer strictly to a biological woman and biological sex.
She described the actors — among them being Eddie Redmayne, Paapa Essiedu and Katie Leung — as “back-stabbing colleagues” who she said are “motivated by fear.”

Actor John Lithgow — who’s playing Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore in the “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” HBO reboot — admitted in April that he was urged to stay away from the show due to Rowling’s controversial views, but ultimately decided not to.
“I do disagree with much of it. Much of it, I think, has been twisted and represented, and she has sort of doubled down on it at her own cost,” he told the New Yorker Radio Hour.
“I just felt the reasons to do it were much, much stronger than the reasons to protest against what Rowling has done and said.”
