All 3 Viewing Spots — Savannah, GA
Rousakis Riverfront Plaza
High crowd · park · Free
Savannah's Waterfront permits chairs and blankets on River Street during the show but bans coolers, multiple cups, glass, cans, skateboards and bikes — only one alcoholic drink per person in a plastic cup within the To-Go Cup Zone (River St to Taylor, MLK to East Broad). Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending. Fireworks launch from a barge in front of the Savannah Convention Center on the Savannah River (~9:30pm, ~20 min). River Street / Rousakis Riverfront Plaza is the primary viewing area (free, 6–10pm). Note: Forsyth Park hosts a separate Farmers Market — NOT fireworks. The show is now viewable from BOTH sides of the river. River Street ramps close to vehicles ~6pm; metered parking free; garages flat rate. U.S. Army 3rd Infantry Division band performs ~7:30pm.
Savannah Convention Center lawn, Hutchinson Island
Medium crowd · park · Free
New for 2026: the reopened Convention Center allows viewing from the north bank — WSAV calls out this as the smart move because you park at the Convention Center deck, watch from directly behind the launch barge, and take the Belles Ferry over only if you want River Street food. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
Plant Riverside District
High crowd · park · Free
Savannah First-Timer notes rooftop bars (Bar Julian, Electric Moon, Top Deck, Myrtle & Rose) on the Plant Riverside end sell VIP $50+ packages that fill weeks ahead — book before mid-June or settle for the free West River Street stretch directly below. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
