Einstein A Go-Go 40th Reunion

The Albatross + Myth Nightclub | Downtown Jacksonville

Jacksonville Beach’s legendary club Einstein A Go-Go shaped the city’s music scene for over a decade, and its 40th anniversary is being celebrated with a weekend reunion in Downtown Jacksonville.

On Saturday, local favorites RickoLus, The Cadets and North Riverside Allstars perform live. The tribute wraps on Sunday with Frankenstein A Go-Go, a Halloween Goth Night dance party and costume contest.

Barktoberfest

Saturday

Mocama | Fernandina Beach

Spend the afternoon outdoors, meet fellow pet lovers and support local animal rescue efforts at Barktoberfest (formerly Pasta for Paws), benefiting the Nassau Humane Society. This year marks the fundraiser’s 21st birthday—old enough to move the party to the brewery. (I wonder if they’ll have a special non-alcoholic brew for dogs.) Enjoy food, drinks live music, games and activities for dogs and their humans. Don’t forget to bring your pup for some tail-wagging fun.

629 S. 8th St., Fernandina Beach; Tickets: $40 and proceeds go to Nassau Humane Society; Tickets and more info.

Music Tour 2025

Saturday

5 Points | Riverside

Explore the musical legacy of 5 Points at the 2nd Annual Music Tour, featuring more than 30 performers across eight neighborhood stages. Kids under 12 are free, and volunteers who give two hours at a stage receive a complimentary ticket for the rest of the day. (I volunteered last year at the Dart Bar stage. So much fun!)
