Neither falling on a Wednesday or a temperature of around 100 degrees could stop droves of people from lining the coasts of the Hudson River to watch the Macy's Fourth of July "Ignite the Night' fireworks display. Hoboken, N.J. proved to be prime viewing real estate with the fireworks being ignited from a boat between Manhattan and New Jersey.

Thousands turned out to the New Jersey side of the Hudson River to view the Macy's Fourth of July fireworks display. The fireworks were shot off from a boat between Manhattan and New Jersey.

Professional latin dancers, Denniz Seven, left, and Marissa Elena Yanez, spent the afternoon picnicking and dancing with other dancer friends while waiting for the 9:20 fireworks. "This is becoming a tradition," said Yanez. "We came last year, too."
