Price Tag of the Day: $6 Million
That's how much New York's 4th of July fireworks cost, according to Fox Business.
It's a big price tag, but $6 million is what some estimate Macy's pays for New York City's annual 4th of July show. According to Fox Business, workers set off 1,600 shells per minute (more than three times the average of the entire local community show).
There are 14,000 shows across the country every July 4th. Costs range from $2,000 to $7,000 for a short, simple small town display up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars for big city shows (with music, computer coordination and larger shells).
