Saturday
Art in the Park
James Weldon Johnson Park | Downtown
Watch the sidewalks of James Weldon Johnson Park transform into stunning works of art as Art in the Park, Northeast Florida’s only chalk drawing competition, returns for its fifth year. This year’s theme, Full STEAM Into the Future, promises creative takes on science, technology, engineering, art and math. As artists race against the clock to complete their large-scale pieces, watch the magic unfold, chat with the creators, and vote for your favorite design.
Noon to 5 p.m. Free and open to the public. More info
Saturday
Levitation Room
WJCT Sound Stage | Downtown
Los Angeles psych-rockers Levitation Room bring their cosmic, garage-blues sound to the WJCT Soundstage as part of the Jacksonville Music Experience’s Soundstage Series. A staple of the international psych scene, the band has built a reputation for electrifying, sold-out shows across the U.S. and Europe. Their 2024 album, Strange Weather, blends primitive rock ‘n’ roll with swirling psychedelia—perfect for fans of The Kinks, Allah-Las, and The Rolling Stones.

Doors: 6 p.m. Tickets: $25. Tickets and more info.
