Watch the night sky light up as we celebrate Independence Day with a fireworks display. Fireworks will begin around 9:30 p.m., depending on lighting and weather conditions, when the sky offers the best background for this incredible pyrotechnic display.

Parking

The fireworks display will be viewable across an oceanside section of the island. Park and view the show from your car at a beachside park. Ideal viewing locations include:

• Great Dunes Beach Park
• Oceanview Beach Park

The Jekyll Island parking fee will be increased for the event day. The fee at the parking gate will be an additional $4 per daily pass; annual passes are not impacted. For additional information, please visit Parking Passes & Entry »
