2007 Tybee Island Independence Day Fireworks to take place July 4th
Tybee Island, Ga. – (May 17, 2007) The Tybee Island Independence Day Fireworks display will take place this
year on July 4th. This date represents a change from previous years when the fireworks were shown on July 3rd.
The display will begin at approximately 9:15 p.m. and will be staged from the Walter Parker Pier at the south
end of the Island. Produced by the same company as in previous years, this well-received display can be easily
viewed from any of Tybee’s eastern beaches lasting for a bit under half an hour.
Visitors should be aware that the July 4th Celebrations generate some of the largest crowds of the year on
Tybee Island. Traffic in both directions on US Highway 80 – Victory Drive will be heavy, and parking spaces will
be in high demand. Parking fees are enforced from 8am to 8pm every day.
Please exercise patience, drive safely and courteously, and leave plenty of time to arrive on the Island and to
return home. Departures off the Island after the fireworks can take as long as three hours, so visitors are
encouraged to think about staying at one of the hotels on the Island, staying the night with friends, or, at the very
least, car-pool and get plenty of rest to stay alert on the roads on the drive home!
The Tybee Shuttle on the Island can also carry visitors from the North Beach parking to the South Beach lot and
all stops in between from 10am thru 1am on the 4th. As the South Beach lot fills up early, consider parking at
North Beach to make finding a parking spot easier.
Have a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July Holiday!
