Hey #DTJax! We are here to give you the inside scoop on the happenings of NYE in Downtown Jacksonville. There are many things happening, so pick your favorite. Friendly reminder — stay safe and have fun!
12/31 @ Downtown Jacksonville along the St. Johns River
Who doesn’t enjoy the NYE fireworks? I am pretty sure this part of the night is a must after all of your other outings for the night. Come along the St. Johns River and soak in the sight of a spectacular fireworks show! In addition to the great show, St. John’s River Taxi is making things easy for you by offering cruises all night long. Say goodbye to 2020 and ring in the New Year with a spectacular fireworks display over the St. Johns River. Make your way down to the waterfront with friends or family before midnight to snag a great seat for the festivities. Fireworks will begin exactly at midnight.
12/31 @ The Volstead
Swing on by for the biggest night of the year! NYE 2021 is coming up and we’ve got you covered (with FREE COVER), plus signature cocktails, a free champagne toast at midnight and dancing the night away with live music.
Celebrate our seventh birthday with us and let us properly send off 2020!

12/31 @ Times-Union Center
The Jacksonville Symphony and guest vocalists straight from Broadway step into the roles of Davis, Sinatra and Martin to celebrate the best of “The Rat Pack” for a very special New Year’s Eve concert! So spend an hour with the music that defined an era and hear the music they made famous.
