Jacksonville Parks & Recreation will host the 61st Annual Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 8, 2018. This nighttime parade features illuminated floats and the featured guest, Santa, along with parade favorites: marching bands, floats, dance groups and the fire department.

Festiville is Jacksonville’s largest and most anticipated annual event. This weekend-long, community event centers around local food, live performances on two stages, athletic competitions, shooting expos, and much more.

This Fourth of July event celebrates Independence Day with a bang. Bring lawn chairs and blankets and watch fireworks burst over the open shooting range. 

Each spring, citizens of Jacksonville gather at the Jacksonville Museum of Military History for a community-wide remembrance ceremony to honor Vietnam War veterans by giving them the welcome home ceremony they deserved.

Capture the spirit of the season at the Holiday Craft & Gift Sale, held annually in mid-November.
