Top Headline

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has announced major changes to nine State Parks throughout Florida that would add golf courses, pickleball courts, and resort-style hotels to our parks.

If you are concerned about this initiative tarnishing the natural landscape of our state, please consider signing this petition setup by the Florida Wildlife Federation.

The nearest public hearing will be in St. Augustine regarding Anastasia State Park.

Things to do

Local recipes are being shared at the Beaches Community Cookbook Launch Party at the Beaches Museum this Friday 4-6pm. Stock is limited and purchases come with a glass of wine or mixed beverage straight from the cookbook. Register here.

🎵John Legend plays at Daily’s place on Saturday. Tickets still available starting at $60.

No flights needed to visit the Carribean this weekend! The annual Jacksonville Caribbean Carnival will have a Parade, Festival, & Concert at 12pm Saturday @ Metropolitan Park.

Food and Drink

🍺 Walking into the doors of the local Blackhat Vapor Company vape shop in Edgewood, you wouldn’t think anything peculiar. However, this local establishment secretly houses one of Jacksonville’s most beloved speakeasies, Buchner’s Bierhall. Through a second set of double doors, you get transported into to Germany with beer pints, bratwurst, and Oktoberfest Specialties!

Check them out!

Local Vendor Highlight

Get ready for the Jaguars season with new swag from local artist Attia Designs! Her Jaguar studs are my favorite pair to gift my girlfriends! Check out her shop!

Stay dry this weekend!

See you on Monday!
