Ring in the new year with Southern style at Savannah’s Waterfront New Year’s Eve Celebration on December 31, 2026. As one of the most vibrant spots in the Southeast to welcome the calendar change, historic River Street transforms into a festive hub featuring live music, themed parties, and special menus across its many waterfront restaurants, bars, and hotels.
The evening’s centerpiece is a spectacular midnight fireworks show launched from a barge in the middle of the Savannah River, providing a breathtaking 10-minute display that reflects brilliantly off the water. Crowds gather at popular viewing spots like Rousakis Riverfront Plaza, the Plant Riverside District, and the Eastern Wharf to count down the final seconds of the year. Whether you're enjoying a rooftop toast or dancing along the cobblestone streets, the atmosphere is electric with holiday spirit.
