Few things are more synonymous with Independence Day than fireworks, and everyone is sure to enjoy the City of Jacksonville’s celebration of the nation’s independence with its display, which kicks off over the downtown riverfront at 9:45 p.m.

Launched from a barge on the St. Johns River near downtown hotels, this year’s fireworks will be visible from both the north and south banks of downtown Jacksonville, Brooklyn area, and the Riverside Arts Market (RAM) location under the Fuller Warren Bridge. Audio is available at RAM and Friendship Fountain Park. The fireworks can also be viewed on WJXT Channel 4.

Citizens are encouraged to be mindful of roadway closures and access restrictions. The eastern most northbound lane on the Acosta Bridge will close at noon. The Acosta Bridge will fully close at 9:15 p.m. and will open once all firework trailers and debris are cleared. The Main Street Bridge will close at 9:30 p.m. through the show’s conclusion at approximately 10:15 p.m. All other bridges will remain open. For more information, visit JaxHappenings.com.
