JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Hey, Insiders! 👋
Is it just me or have the events around Jacksonville lately been some of the best all year?!

Hot take (from yours truly), the best events I have attended so far this year have been Kanine Social’s Woofstock, Jax River Jams and 904 Happy Hour’s Duval De Mayo. I can’t say this enough — if there is music (multiple stages/areas are icing on the cake), great vibes and good drinks, I’m there. My jaw is still on the floor that Woofstock was a free event and my adrenaline is still on 100% after Duval de Mayo. What has been your favorite event so far this year? Let me know in the comments!
Anyway, let’s get to this weekend’s events. Here are some of the awesome happenings taking place around Northeast Florida from May 10 to May 12.
