Luminaria – Avondale
The Riverside Avondale Preservation organizes the annual Luminaria event in the Riverside, Jacksonville neighborhood.
Homeowners on the the route place luminaries on their sidewalks. Some will also festoon their property with holiday decorations, while others will host small gatherings and local musicians.
Colors of the Wild – Jacksonville Zoo
The Jacksonville Zoo is home to multiple species of rare and exotic animals, grouped by the continents they call home. Tour the zoo using its main path, branching out to exhibits as they present themselves. You can also ride a train around the property’s perimeter.
The “Colors of the Wild” event features Asian Lanterns, dramatic holiday lights, and beautiful displays of color, all styled for the human culture of each animal’s habitat.
This must-see event is one of the city’s favorite holiday traditions!
Top Golf Mini-Golf – St. John’s Town Center
Top Golf has been one of Jacksonville’s favorite places to play since 2016. Sporting a two-floor driving range, bar, lounge, arcade games, and mini-golf course, there’s literally something for everyone, including those whose golf game is still in development.
Top Golf’s mini-golf course welcomed its first visitors in 2020. Offering players a realistic putting experience at-scale, this 14 hole course dispenses with the gauche windmills, volcanoes, and fun-house creations that characterize most mini-golf experiences. Instead, customers can enjoy a leisurely social game that allows serious golfers to hone their skill and newbies a chance to have a laugh.
