Start Your New Year on Tybee
2024 is winding down and 2025 is on the horizon. The New Year will bring fresh opportunities and exciting possibilities. To start your year off right, take advantage of the fun festivities on Tybee. The island hosts two New Year’s traditions that attract thousands, and this year is no different. If you want to kick off your 2025 in a memorable way, make your way to Tybee for these events.
New Year’s Eve Fireworks
Ring in the New Year Tybee-style, by joining crowds on South Beach by the iconic Pier & Pavilion for a dazzling fireworks display. Watch in splendor as colorful fireworks illuminate the sky over the Atlantic Ocean. The light show starts at midnight, but be sure to arrive at the beach earlier for a fun disco dance party, which kicks off at 9 p.m. Send 2024 off by dancing the night away and welcome the New Year under bright, shining lights — what a great way to start 2025!
Tybee Polar Plunge
Thousands of adventurers from near and far take part in a Tybee New Year’s tradition that thrills and chills. Now in its 25th year, the annual Polar Plunge is a bold way to kick off the New Year. Join locals and tourists alike on South Beach on Jan. 1 at 9 a.m. for a wacky costume contest and parade, then take the plunge into the brisk waters of the Atlantic. Fun for the whole family, the Polar Plunge is an unforgettable experience that lays the foundation for a wonderful New Year. And be sure to get the 2025 Tybee Polar Plunge t-shirt as a stylish souvenir. They sell out quickly, so get yours before they’re gone.
