Celebrate a historic milestone at Savannah’s Waterfront Independence Day Celebration on July 4, 2026, as the nation commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This free, family-friendly event brings the historic River Street to life with live music performances at Rousakis Riverfront Plaza, Plant Riverside District, and The Park at Eastern Wharf.
The evening reaches its peak with a spectacular 20-minute fireworks show launched from a barge in the middle of the Savannah River, perfectly choreographed to a patriotic musical soundtrack. Spectators can enjoy the display from numerous vantage points along the waterfront, including the newly developed Eastern Wharf and the Savannah Convention Center. With a vibrant atmosphere of red, white, and blue merriment, it is the ultimate way to experience the charm of Georgia’s oldest city.
