Or you might try something more relaxing, like strolling through the Fernandina Beach Arts Market on Saturday, Aug. 9 (and every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month) in historic downtown Fernandina.
There’s a farmer’s market, arts – and, of course, where there’s arts, there’s crafts. You can also enjoy local musicians and artists – all for no cost..
See a list of exhibitors on the arts market’s website.
Finally, been cooped up with the kids too long? Attend the Water Balloon Fight benefitting the Florida Pancreatic Cancer Coalition. Work out a little frustration, and contribute to a good cause all at once.
The event takes place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 9 at St. Peter’s Catholic Church, 960 Girvin Road in Jacksonville. Admission is free and donations are welcome.
In addition to water balloon fights, festivities include a bouncy house, music, raffles, food trucks, and a rock climbing wall.
The goal of FLPCC is to invest in local yet world-class pancreatic cancer research. Click here to see an event flier.
