Where to watch Fourth of July fireworks without leaving your house

Independence Day is here! In Philly, the Parkway dresses in red, white, and blue for Wawa Welcome America, and across the tri-state area, multiple places prepare for the firework shows. But not everyone wants to be out and about during the Fourth of July.

Small children, animals, weather, and safety concerns can make some folks want to celebrate at home. Thanks to cable and the internet, staying in won’t make you miss out on the fireworks celebrations. You can tune in for multiple shows in and outside the Philly area.

Here’s everything you need to know to watch and stream 4th of July fireworks this year:

Hundreds of folks will attend the annual Wawa Welcome America concert at Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Demi Lovato and Ludacris will headline this year’s edition. Avoid the crowds and watch their sets from the comfort of your couch on NBC10 at 7 p.m. To finish the night, tune in at 9:45 p.m. for the firework show, broadcasting live on NBC10 and TeleXitos.

If you don’t have cable TV but still want to watch the Parkway’s fireworks, check out Earth Cam. This webcam network partners with The Franklin Institute to maintain a live stream of the Parkway. So you will be able to see the fireworks live. It can also come in handy to see the 4th of July fireworks in other parts of the U.S.

Allentown’s 4th of July celebration starts at 5 p.m. But you don’t need to travel an hour outside of Philly to join the fun. Tune in on RCN at 7:30 p.m. to watch the performances and catch the musical firework show at 9:20 p.m.

Celebrate Independence Day with fireworks from the U.S. Capitol. Beginning at 8 p.m., PBS will stream their Capitol Fourth events hosted by The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor Alfonso Ribeiro. Soprano Renée Fleming, the National Symphony Orchestra, singer Belinda Carlisle, and the Muppets are among the performances. Fireworks will take place toward the end of the event.

Watch the Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks without going to New York. Ashanti, Bebe Rexha, The Roots, and Zuri Hall will all perform beginning at 8 p.m. By 9:25 p.m., an orchestral background will embellish your Tv for the fireworks show. This year, Macy’s plans on having four new fireworks effect, and 30 colors and shapes for a display that promises 25 minutes of fireworks extravaganza. You can stream it on NBC and Peacock.
