Savannah New Years Eve 2024

Fireworks, Events, Parties, Hotels, Restaurants, Concerts

Savannah will light up the sky at the waterfront this new years eve, while nearby Tybee Island also has a spectacular fireworks display that draws crowds from across the state to welcome the new year in a fabulous scenic setting.

If you're visiting Savannah over the festive period then it makes sense to stay for at least a few days and enjoy all the town has to offer. In particular try to make time to visit Forsyth Park, the Savannah Historic District and the Cathedral of St John the Baptist, a great place to take in a Christmas service if that's your thing.

As with all events this year, please ensure that you double check locally for any last minute updates or cancellations before making any travel plans. Many listings are subject to change with very little notice.

Up for The Cup

(As of 5 December, nothing as yet announced for the Up for the Cup, please check here for more details, there is however confirmation that there will be a fireworks display across from the Convention Center)

A relatively new addition to the new year party scene in Savannah is the Up for the Cup celebration organised by the Savannah Waterfront Association that takes place on the Rousakis Riverfront Plaza on East River Street. This is a free outdoor event that starts at 8pm and offers live music and entertainment throughout the evening.

The climax of the party is the Savannah interpretation of a ball drop, which actually involves raising a 6 foot cup in the Up the Cup midnight countdown, which is immediately followed by a fireworks display.

Savannah Fireworks

You can still head to the Watefront for their annual fireworks display at midnight. This is around 10 minutes long and launched across from Savannah Convention Center.

Tybee Island Fireworks

Those looking for a new years eve fireworks display in the Savannah area often choose to take the short trip, around 20 minutes drive or so, out to Tybee Island where they have their own spectacular fireworks show at midnight.

The fireworks are launched from the Walter W Parker Pier and Pavilion and the best viewing points are on the beach itself or from one of the many beachfront restauarants. Full details here.

And don't forget the Tybee Polar Plunge on the 1st January!
