Independence Day on Savannah’s Waterfront
Savannah’s Waterfront is delighted to host our annual Independence Day Celebration on Saturday, July 4. The event is free and open to the public, with complimentary parking at all downtown meters!
Savannah’s celebration of our nation’s 250th anniversary begins at 6:00pm on Saturday, July 4, 2026 – Independence Day. Plans include live music on three waterfront stages – Plant Riverside District, Rousakis Riverfront Plaza and The Park at Eastern Wharf. The 3rd Infantry Division Bands will perform on Rousakis Riverfront Plaza. Based at Fort Stewart in Hinesville, Ga., they have delighted audiences worldwide since 1943.
At 9:30pm the skies will be lit up by a dazzling fireworks show, perfectly synched to patriotic tunes for the enjoyment of guests in Rousakis Riverfront Plaza, Plant Riverside District, Eastern Wharf, and the Savannah Convention Center. The approximately 20 minute spectacle is fired from a floating barge in the Savannah River.
