Freebie Friday - What Can You Do or Get for FREE?

The 4th of July is a time for us to celebrate our nation’s birthday.  It’s often spent with familiy or friends, but instead of a party, picnic or barbeque, you may want to have some free fun.

Tonight on Tybee Island, fireworks will be shining on the Atlantic Ocean at the Pier on the south end.  Fireworks will go off around 9:30.  Pack your patience in your beach bag because getting off of the island afterwards will be a slow go.  Contact: 912.224.2330 or http://www.tybeevisit.com

Also tonight, folks in Darien can enjoy fireworks on the Waterfront when Mason Waters and The Groove All-Stars perform on the Waterfront Stage in Darien on Friday July 3rd in celebration of Independence Day. Gates open at 6:00pm; Music begins at 7:00pm with FIREWORKS!! scheduled for 9:15pm.
