Fireworks and Festivities
Fourth of July has become synonymous with fireworks. There’s incredible fireworks display over water. Make your way over to Downtown Fernandina Beach for the Hometown 4th of July Celebration. It’s an evening full of music, food vendors, and family-friendly festivities all leading up to the big show.
As the sun sets, the waterfront gets packed with people ready to watch the colorful fireworks light up the night sky. You’ll feel the excitement buzzing since this is one of Amelia Island’s most anticipated events. If you want an even closer look at the fireworks, some river cruises offer boat rides where you can take in the show from the water!
More Fun After the Fireworks
While the fireworks are the highlight of your Fourth of July on Amelia Island, there’s much to see and do during the daytime hours. Spend your day at Main Beach Park, working on your tan, swimming in the water, and playing on the sand with family and friends.
To take in the sights from a different view, go for a mountain bike ride in Fort Clinch State Park. You’ll love taking trails as the wind through forests of mossy oak, pine and palmetto trees. In need of something a bit more low-key? Visit Main Street on Fernandina Beach, where you can visit a variety of shops and restaurants.
If you get a little hungry, visit local favorites like Timoti’s Seafood Shak or The Salty Pelican – both offering fresh, wild caught seafood for your Fourth of July feast! And be sure to cool off with an ice cream cone from DeNucci’s or a sweet treat from Fantastic Fudge.
