PRESS RELEASE: Contact: Tybee Island City Hall
For immediate release (912) 786-4573
2008 Tybee Island Independence Day Fireworks to take place July 4 th
Tybee Island, Ga. – (June 20, 2008) The Tybee Island Independence Day Fireworks display will again take
place this year on July 4th itself. 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, Falcon
Fireworks, this well-received display can be easily viewed from any of Tybee’s eastern beach areas, 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. Remember that parking fees are enforced from 8am to 8pm every day.
Please exercise patience, drive safely and courteously, and leave plenty of time both to arrive on the Island and
to return home. Departures off the Island after the fireworks can take a long time, sometimes as much as three
hours, so visitors are encouraged to think about staying at one of the hotels or overnight rentals on the Island,
staying the night with friends, or, at the very least, car-pooling with a designated driver who gets plenty of rest to
stay alert on the roads for the drive home!
Have a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July Holiday, wherever you choose to celebrate!
