The Piers
9:00 PM: Russell-Fields + M.B. Miller Piers
It’s showtime! If big is what you’re after, Panama City Beach delivers, firing from two locations (Russell-Fields Pier and M.B. Miller Pier) simultaneously, making it one of the largest fireworks shows on the Gulf Coast.
Best viewing: The beach itself is your best bet. Stake out a spot between the two piers for the full dual-launch effect. Earlier is better, the beach fills up well before showtime.
Traffic reality: It’s real, and it’s post-show too. Take extra time if you’re driving back to 30A, or book a PCB Oversee rental and just walk to the beach. Way easier. Way dreamier.
