Early September means beautiful weather and “endless summer” in Jacksonville. Enjoy the Labor Day Holiday weekend with these top things to do:
1. Celebrate 904 Day
904 Day celebrates all local businesses, especially small ones. Support all things local over Labor Day Weekend — from one-of-a-kind shops and independent restaurants to attractions and destinations that contribute to Northeast Florida’s unique quality of life.
2. Hit the Beach
Labor Day is a celebration and tribute to American workers, so enjoy some well-deserved rest and relaxation on our 22 miles of white sand beaches. Our guide to Jacksonville’s beaches shares everything you need to know for a successful day of sun and sand. Stop by our Beaches Visitor Center at the Beaches Museum, open Thursday through Saturday 10 a.m.to 4 p.m., to get some great recommendations from our Destination Experience team.
3. Find Your Park
Our city is home to the largest urban park system in the U.S. and we’re close to some awesome national parks and preserves. Check out our Top Parks Guide.
4. Explore The Jax Ale Trail
Have you been to all of the breweries on the Jacksonville Ale Trail yet? Pick up a passport at one of our visitor centers either Downtown or at the Beach and collect stamps to win a prize. Rediscover old favorites and learn about the newest breweries in Jacksonville too.
