Fireworks are a big part of area Independence Day celebrations. In Jacksonville, the annual 4th of July Fireworks Celebration will feature a spectacular fireworks display over the downtown riverfront beginning at 9:45 p.m.

This year, fireworks will be launched from a barge on the St. Johns River between the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront and DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront hotels and high above the St. Johns River from the Acosta Bridge. These locations are able to be viewed from both the North and South banks in Downtown Jacksonville in addition to viewing from Brooklyn and under the Fuller Warren Bridge where the Riverside Arts Market is held.

Official audio broadcasts can be found at the Jacksonville Landing and beneath the Fuller Warren Bridge at the Riverside Arts Market. The fireworks can also be viewed on WJXT Channel 4.
