Fireworks are a traditional way to greet the new year, and you don't even have to wait until midnight to see them. Fireworks go off at the St. Petersburg waterfront at 8:30 p.m. Saturday as part of the First Night celebration. They will be repeated at midnight.

Other midnight displays will explode over the Channelside area of Tampa and at Busch Gardens.
