It’s undeniable, Jacksonville’s urban core is buzzing with energy and – thanks to the city’s Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, known as JaxParks – it’s buzzing with a host of free community events too. For locals and visitors alike, downtown Jacksonville is fast becoming a hotspot for an array of freebie activities, from “fitness programs, live jazz and DJ nights, silent discos, photo walks, art in the park, Latin dance classes, movie nights, and more”, as quoted by the official JaxParks announcement.
