The traditional Macy’s Fourth of July fireworks show returned in full form with a display over the East River, as shells were shot from five barges in a televised, choreographed spectacle.
LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. (NEWS10) – The 4th of July weekend was muddled with some rain and clouds, but looking around on Monday, you wouldn’t know it.
A sunny holiday Monday meant busy beaches, and full lines at the Lake George Steamboat Company. The three iconic steamboats played their own role in ringing in the holiday.
The village held 4th of July fireworks for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic on Sunday night, and the steamboats held cruises for visitors to see shows out on the lake for three days.
All three of those days were completely sold out, and Minnie-Ha-Ha captain David King said he feels his passengers have come fully ready to get back to a more normal summer.

National Geographic has suggested that holiday fireworks are racist because the smoke pollution “disproportionately” hurts minorities — sparking a firestorm of criticism from readers.
The famed conservation institution tweeted out the assertion on the Fourth of July, based on a recent study assessing the impact of Independence Day fireworks on communities.
“Scientists found that vulnerable people and communities of color are disproportionately exposed to air pollution from firework celebrations,” the nonprofit wrote on Twitter above a photo of a lights display over North Hollywood, Calif.
The tweet included a link to an article the mag just published involving research using crowdsourcing data in California.
The state’s minority residents are at greater risk for health concerns related to fireworks smoke partly because the holiday displays usually take place in its urban areas and along the coast, where there are greater concentrations of such populations, experts told the publication.
The tweet claims that "communities of color disproportionally exposed to air pollution."
