There’s a lot happening around Jacksonville this week! From a brand-new spot to grab your favorite chicken to a major new concert venue getting ready for its debut, here are a few local updates you should know about:
First up, Zaxby’s has officially opened a new location on Jacksonville’s Northside near Dunn Avenue and I-95. The restaurant is part of the city’s Jacksonville Jumpstart to Prosperity Initiative, which focuses on creating jobs, supporting local entrepreneurs, and boosting economic growth in the area.
On the flip side, Four Score Golf Tavern has closed its San Marco location. If you’re a fan, don’t worry—the Gate Parkway location is still open and serving customers.
Looking ahead to the fall, the Jacksonville Fair is returning November 5-15 at its new Westside location instead of downtown. The fairgrounds continue to expand, with Duval Hall already hosting conventions and special events. Now, the campus is adding an exciting new outdoor amphitheater near the Jacksonville Equestrian Center:
The open-air venue will hold nearly 10,000 people and will make its official debut during this year’s Jacksonville Fair concert series. The lineup already includes country star Dwight Yoakam, the Pop 2000 Tour, Skillet featuring The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Smash Mouth, and many more. Tickets are already on sale, and organizers say another big fair announcement is coming soon so stay tuned!
Whether you’re checking out the newest Zaxby’s, planning your next night out, or counting down to fair season, Jacksonville has plenty to look forward to over the next few months.
