NYC is giving away 100,000 free tickets to the 4th of July fireworks celebration 🎇 Apply via lottery now through June 29 at july4.events.nyc Ticketed areas: South Street Seaport Brooklyn Bridge Park Non-ticketed areas: Along the FDR FAQ: When is the lottery open? The lottery is open from Friday, June 26 at 10:00 AM to Monday, June 29 at 11:59 PM. What time do the fireworks start? The fireworks start at 9:25 PM. How are lottery winners selected? Selections are fully randomized. Entries are not scored by neighborhood, borough, residency, or the time you applied within the entry window. Do I need to live in New York City? No. Location and residency are not part of lottery selection. What happens if I am selected? You’ll receive an email with a time window to claim your tickets and choose from the viewing zones that still have availability. Can I bring a group? Yes — each winner can register a group of up to 4 (winner + 3 guests). Each winner must submit all guests' names and emails during registration - not the lottery - to secure the tickets. Children 2 and under do not need a ticket. Everyone 3 and older needs their own ticket and counts toward your group of up to 4. #nycforfree #4thofjuly
