The largest fine arts museum in Northeast Florida. The Cummer was established when art collector, garden enthusiast, and civic leader Ninah Cummer bequeathed her art collection and riverfront home to create a museum. The historic garden, set against the backdrop of the St. Johns River, serves as a centerpiece of beauty for all to enjoy.

Jacksonville is home to many great outdoor markets that include art, vendors, food trucks, and music. A few of my favorites include 904 Pop-Up, which takes place on the beach once a month, Riverside Arts Market (right next to the Cummer every Saturday), and First Wednesday Art Walk (downtown).

The drive-in has a food truck owned by the cinema as well as allows other food vendors at times. Movie audio for the drive-in is transmitted on 94.1FM. Sun Ray's Drive-in has digital projection and shows both first run and classic movies. Admission is currently $20 per carload.

The lighthouse offers spectacular 360-degree panoramic views, well worth the 219 steps to reach the top. Your admission ticket also grants you access to Heritage Boatworks, the lighthouse keeper's home/museum, and several WWII-era buildings.

Always wanted to try your hand at a pottery wheel? You can do so right here in Jax. I highly recommend the introductory course, but you can also sign up for 2 hour create sessions. The studio has great vibes and awesome instructors.

Rent an electric bike with a sick design by a local Jax artist, and then ride it through arguably one of the coolest areas of the city. Stroll through Avondale, checking out the historic real estate, and then hop on the Riverwalk trail to catch great views of the city and put a padlock on the lock bridge.
