The city goes all out for New Year's Eve with an event lineup that can’t be missed.

Hotels, attractions, restaurants and live music venues from the beaches all the way to Downtown host special parties and events to ring in the New Year.

Fireworks in Downtown

Fireworks Show

No other Florida destination has a bigger New Year's Eve fireworks show than Jacksonville. Visit Downtown Jacksonville on New Year's Eve as the city lights up the night to welcome the New Year.

This year fireworks will be launched from a barge on the St. Johns River between the Hyatt and DoubleTree hotels and high above the St. Johns River from the Acosta Bridge. These locations are able to be viewed from both the North and South banks in Downtown Jacksonville in addition to viewing from Brooklyn and under the Fuller Warren Bridge where the Riverside Arts Market is held. The fireworks show will begin at midnight to ring in 2026.
