The city will present a fireworks show at midnight on Jan. 1 for visitors here for the Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl football game and New Year’s Eve revelers.
The show will be choreographed to music that can be heard from loudspeakers at the Jacksonville Landing.
Fireworks will be launched from two barges on the St. Johns River. One barge will be placed in front of the Landing and Friendship Fountain Park, with the other barge anchored east of the Main Street Bridge.
The show will be similar to the display that was presented July 4. City spokeswoman Monica Landeros-Jiminez said the budget for the show is $30,500 from the Office of Special Events.
There will be no vehicle or pedestrian traffic permitted on the Main Street Bridge from 11:45 p.m. to about 12:20 a.m. River traffic also will be halted during that time.
Spectators may view the fireworks from vantage points, such as along the Southbank, Northbank, Downtown and parts of Riverside.
