PBS airs “A Capitol Fourth”
Cover Story Fourth-coming TV: NBC, PBS present premium Fourth of July entertainment By Dana Simpson This Fourth of July, TV viewers can enjoy countless hours of patriotic entertainment, ranging from unique, televised festivals to special episodes of favorite TV shows and major Hollywood films — we’re looking at you “Independence Day” (1996) — across several networks. Among the most notable viewfrom-home programs are Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular on NBC and PBS’s “A Capitol Fourth,” which airs from the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. As the events broadcast nationwide, however, please be sure to check your local listings for times and any additional information or local events. This year, the Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular airs live from New York City’s East River on NBC and its streaming platform,

Peacock. The 47th celebration of its kind, the event coordinators have promised “serious star power, electrifying performances and heart-pounding pyrotechnics.” While the complete list of stars taking part in the event has yet to be announced as of press time, significant information has been shared regarding the musical score and performance, presided over by musical director Ray Chew (whose credits include “Showtime at the Apollo,” “American Idol,” “Dancing With the Stars” and more). “I am thrilled to be back to compose the fireworks score for the Macy’s team and NBC,” Chew said in a statement. “This year, we will recognize trailblazers as we celebrate our country’s independence through the voices of young people.”
Helping Chew to realize his vision for the score is the U.S. Army Field Band, accompanied by Sgt. First Class Kyra Dorn’s “incredibly soulful vocals” for “God Bless America” and other well-known pieces. Additionally, rappers, R&B artists and fellow Staff Sgts. Nicholas Feemster and Lamar Riddick take to the mic for a heartfelt rendition of “Sea to Shining Sea.” For those in or close to Manhattan and who wish to be a part of the three million or more attendees this year, the Macy’s Spectacular is a free event, and more information — including the full list of artists, celebrities and performers, once announced — can be found online at Macys.com/ fireworks. Over on PBS, meanwhile, a party kicks off in the nation’s
capital. Airing live (and in replay) from the Capitol in Washington, D.C., this year’s “A Capitol Fourth” is hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro (“The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”) and is sponsored by Boeing. The biggest draw of this event is without a doubt the concerts, which are open to on-site attendees and broadcast crews all night on the grounds’ West Lawn. The full list of performers can be found at PBS.org/a-capitol-fourth. Of course, no Fourth of July celebration is complete without special recognition of the armed forces. “A Capitol Fourth” 2023 is proud to welcome the Military District of Washington, the United States Army Band “Perishing’s Own,” The U.S. Army Herald Trumpets and the United States Presidential Salute Battery.
