Here's Where to Watch 4th of July Fireworks in Brooklyn

BROOKLYN, NY — This year's fireworks show kicks off Monday night at 9:20 p.m. in Manhattan, but there are a lot of ways to enjoy the festivities from Brooklyn.

For the borough's best free views of the fireworks, the Parks Department recommends the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and the Furman and Old Fulton Street entrances near Pier 1 inside Brooklyn Bridge Park.

But if you're looking to celebrate America's birthday by stimulating our nation's economy, Brooklyn Barge is offering two ticketed rooftop viewing options.

A VIP ticket costs $238 and includes “guaranteed” unrestricted access to the barge with complimentary bottles of champagne on every table, well drinks, wine, select beer, food until you're full, and a premier seat from which to view the fireworks display.

A general admission ticket costs $159 and will get you “limited” picnic style seating, wine, select beer, food and an unrestricted view of the show — but seating is on a “first come, first serve basis.”

Fornino Pizza at Brooklyn Bridge Park is hosting its own rooftop event from 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm. The package includes an unlimited open bar, buffet and dessert. It costs $295 for adults and $245 for children ages 10 and up (children under 10 are not permitted on the roof during the fireworks).

On the more affordable side, Berry Bar is asking for a $20 cover for the roof staring at 5 p.m. They’ll also have a live DJ and drink specials.
