Downtown Jacksonville
St. Johns Town Center Mall
Northside: FSCJ North Campus
Southside: The Avenues Mall
Westside: Normandy/Lem Merrett Park
Arlington: Ed Austin Regional Park
The additional locations are so residents can safely watch while being socially-distanced in their communities.
People can still view the Downtown fireworks from the Northbank and Southbank along the St. Johns River. For people who wish to view from home, the fireworks show will be televised on Channel 4 during the Red, White and Boom special. The two hour show that features musical groups will culminate with the Jacksonville Fireworks Spectacular.
“Red, White and Boom” will be hosted by News4Jax anchors Vic Micolucci and Lauren Verno. It will air on WJXT, Channel 4 from 8-10 p.m. on Saturday, July 4.
The fireworks display is scheduled to begin at 9:45 p.m.
