NEW YORK, July 6, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Empire State Building's Lights Synchronized to First-Ever Fireworks Display

For the first time in the history of New York City, fireworks were launched

from the Empire State Building's 72nd and 103rd floors, and from its famed 86th

Floor Observation Deck. Its lights put on a synchronized display in the only

live component of NBC's broadcast of the 44th Annual Macy's July 4th

Fireworks(R) Spectacular. The Heart of New York City, and the international

icon of the city so nice they named it twice, put on an unprecedented display

to Frank Sinatra's immortal New York, New York.

The Building's music-to-light show was designed by world-renowned lighting

designer Marc Brickman and his team at Tactical Manoeuvre, executed flawlessly

under a clear night sky. The smoke from the fireworks accented the special

light show that is now available on the Empire State Building's YouTube

July 4th, we join Macy's and bring joy to our reawakening home as we continue

our unique Ambassadorship to the world," said Anthony E. Malkin, Chairman,
