Jacksonville is bringing the energy this week with football, food, festivals, and community pride. Whether you're headed to the beach, the ballpark, or a fan rally, there's something worth getting off the couch for — here's what's happening around town.
- The Jaguars Spirit Week is loading up fans with local business deals, ticket giveaways, and a free rally in the days leading up to the home opener at EverBank Stadium — a game that's part of the franchise's final season at the iconic venue.
- A free ocean festival at Jacksonville Beach joins the Jaguars opener and Jumbo Shrimp baseball to make this one of the city's biggest weekends of the year.
- Earlier in the week, Jacksonville packed in beachside BBQ, riverside strolls, monster trucks, and the debut of a massive new concert venue — proof the fun started well before the weekend.
- The 4th Annual Amelia Island Cookout is on the horizon, bringing chefs, pitmasters, and sommeliers together at the Ritz-Carlton for four days of serious culinary fire.
- Jacksonville also paused to celebrate itself: 904 Day brought business and civic leaders together at VyStar Tower for a community breakfast honoring the people and culture that make the city tick.
However you spend your time in Jacksonville this week, the city is making it easy to find something worth showing up for. Get out there and enjoy it.
