The Big Apple transforms into the 'Big Fun' each 4th of July

New York City — What better place to celebrate America's Independence Day than in her top city?

As for what ranks as the top attractions, surprisingly the nation's most expensive city offers tons of free things to do. After all, as that old saying goes: the best things in life are free...

...With that being said, here are three fun things to do on the 4th of July.

1. Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Show

For this year's world-famous fireworks show, Macy's plans to launch more than 75,000 shells. As usual, the show will be on display between 24th Street and 40th Street, alongside the Hudson River.

2. The Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island

The Statue of Liberty is to Independence Day what Santa Claus is to Christmas Day. And so, few events better celebrate the holiday than the most iconic symbol of our nation's freedom.

3. The William Vale's 4th of July Gospël Tribe Experience

If you're looking for some of the best views in NYC, Westlight at the top of the William Vale is for you.

In addition to the spectacular views, William Vale hosts a two-day festival with tons of DJs to celebrate the holiday.
