Downtown Jacksonville

Show begins at 9 p.m.  Fireworks are launched from the Acosta Bridge and east of Main Street Bridge over the St. Johns River.  Note: The best view is from Northbank and Southbank riverwalks Downtown.

 

Jacksonville Beach Pier

Show begins at 9 p.m. Fireworks will be launched from the Jacksonville Beach Fishing Pier. Note: The best view is pretty much from anywhere around the pier.  It can get congested so if you aren’t a fan of big crowds, you can still enjoy the show from farther down the beach either north or south of the pier.
