Author: Alexandra LaRocque, Downtown Vision Marketing and Events Assistant

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!

 

New Year’s Eve Fireworks

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.


A Roaring New Year’s Eve

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.
