As the nation prepares to celebrate Independence Day, here's what to know about watching Fourth of July celebrations on TV and streaming.

Your best bet for streaming fireworks on July 4 is the iconic Macy's 4th of July Fireworks special. The special will air from 8 p.m. ET through 10 p.m. ET. You can stream the show on Peacock, NBC's streaming service, or tune in to your local NBC station, which will also televise the fireworks.

Round Rock's all-day celebrations will include a parade throughout downtown, pig races, a speech by Mayor Craig Morgan, and musical performances. The Elevation Band will take the stage at 7 p.m., and the Austin Symphonic Band will perform alongside the fireworks show around 9:30 p.m.
