Two music festivals lined up

Two Jacksonville music festivals are being scheduled – one for late February and the other for late March.

The 11th Community First Seawalk Music Festival will host North East Florida food vendors, merchants, and live musical artists for a two-day family-friendly experience.

VIP tickets are available for $30 and may be purchased online and printed at home. These include armchairs in the VIP area, private bar, air-conditioned restrooms, special beverage and food area, and backstage lounge.

Saturday’s line up will include The Secateurs, Parks and Razz, Hello Sister, Samuel Herb, Annie Dukes, Second Shot, and Live Wire. Sunday’s will include Dakar, Mandalla, Cowford, Julia Gulia, and Seven Nations.

Community First Seawalk Music Festival will take place Saturday, February 25 from noon to Sunday February 26 at 8:00 pm at the oceanfront Seawalk Pavilion and Latham Plaza, 75 First Street North, Jacksonville Beach.

Springing The Blues outdoor festival will be at the same location a month later. This will be a three-day celebration of America’s indigenous musical form, with local, regional, and national blues artists performing on two stages.

Over the three days, a total of 18 blues artists will be featured on the Seawalk Pavilion and 17 will perform on the Mo’ Blues Stage.

Fans of artists like these often like to go online beforehand and purchase merchandise sporting the artist’s graphic design.

The 31st Annual Springing the Blues Festival will take place from Friday, March 31 at 5:00 pm to Sunday, April 2 at 8:00 pm.
