What could be better than a cool drink in hand, strolling the beachfront and listening to the sweet pings of steel drums? Head over to the Jacksonville Caribbean Carnival each September and you'll feel transported to the islands. Enjoy great music, food, crafts and entertainment at this festival.

Did you know one philanthropist has amassed thousands of historical manuscripts, and has them on display throughout nine museums in the U.S.? Seeing is believing at the Jacksonville Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum, where you'll find the original draft of the "Bill of Rights," the original manuscripts of "The Wedding March" and Einstein's "Theory of Relativity," among many others.
