Tips & Advice
- Choose your viewing spot ahead of time, since the show can be seen from Rousakis Riverfront Plaza, Plant Riverside District, Eastern Wharf and downtown rooftop bars.
- Be settled by the river well before the countdown, because the barge show over the Savannah River lasts only ten minutes.
- Look into the waterfront restaurant, bar and hotel celebrations if you want live music, dancing, a special menu or a themed party before the fireworks.
- Dress warmly, because you'll be standing outdoors by the river late at night while you wait for the fireworks to start.
