Jacksonville Events 2026–27

Jacksonville’s fall has a strong military and car-show flavor. The NAS Jacksonville Air Show is October 17 and 18, and the Dreamers Car Show follows on the 24th. The Jacksonville Fair runs November 5 to 15, and the Veterans Day Parade is November 11.

Holiday events start with Christmas Made in the South and the Light Boat Parade on the St. Johns River over Thanksgiving weekend. A Pearl Harbor remembrance car show is held at the USS Orleck. The year ends with the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl and a New Year’s Eve celebration.

Dates can change, so check the event’s website before you go.
