Organized Spaces

The St. Johns River basin defines the Jacksonville area, and is teaming with history and culture. Learn more about its beginnings at the Mandarin Museum & Historical Society. The museum and historical park includes a typical Mandarin homestead, including a restored farmhouse, barn and sawmill.

It's a real scene at the annual Jacksonville Jazz Festival every May, where some of the greatest regional and national jazz acts get together for memorable jams. Multiple stages, plus the Wine Down Tasting Experience and the Art in the Heart Downtown juried art show happen at the same time.
