Jacksonville, FL — For more than four decades, the Jacksonville Jazz Festival has brought people together to celebrate music, community, and good vibes for Memorial Day weekend. The festivities begin Thursday night at the Florida Theatre with the Jazz Piano Competition, followed by three days of free, live performances at Ford on Bay (the old Duval County Courthouse).
The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp are back home this week for a series against the Norfolk Tides - and it’s a Honey Drippers weekend at the ballpark.
