Queensboro Bridge Centennial Fireworks

The Queensboro Bridge (aka 59th Street Bridge) turns 100 years old this year and New York City is marking the occasion with a fireworks display by Grucci and a week-long Queensboro Bridge Centennial celebration.

The Queensboro Bridge Centennial fireworks display will be designed and produced by Grucci, "America's first family of fireworks." New York's own Gruccis have directed firework displays for seven U.S. Presidential inaugurations, and four Olympic games.
