Broadway Laughs and Artistic Farewells: What's On Today in Jax
A Day for Drama and Culture in Jacksonville
Welcome to Sunday, February 15, 2026. As the lead editor for jacksonville.news, I am delighted to present a packed itinerary for locals and visitors alike. Today serves as a significant milestone for the city's cultural calendar, as several major theatrical runs and high-profile art exhibitions reach their grand finale. Whether you are looking for a heartfelt Broadway musical, a night of sharp comedy, or a final stroll through a world-class gallery, Jacksonville has exactly what you need this Sunday.
Theatrical Highlights: Mrs. Doubtfire and Kathy Griffin
Today marks the final opportunity to catch the Broadway sensation Mrs. Doubtfire at the Jacksonville Center for the Performing Arts. Presented by the FSCJ Artist Series, this musical adaptation of the beloved film has been the talk of the town all week. Sunday typically features both a matinee and an evening performance, allowing families one last chance to see the heartfelt story of Daniel Hillard and his elaborate disguise. The show has been praised for its high-energy choreography and its touching exploration of family bonds.
For those looking for a sharper edge to their evening, the historic Florida Theatre hosts Kathy Griffin. The iconic comedian brings her "New Face, New Tour" to the stage at 7:30 PM. Known for her unfiltered take on celebrity culture and politics, Griffin’s performance promises a night of laughter and storytelling in one of the city's most beautiful architectural gems. This is a must-see for fans of stand-up comedy looking for a high-profile night out downtown.
Final Call for Major Art Exhibitions
It is a "Last Chance" Sunday for art enthusiasts in the Riverside and Downtown areas. At the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, the major exhibition Andrew Wyeth at Kuerner Farm: The Eye of the Earth officially closes its doors this afternoon. This collection has spent months exploring the deep connection between the American artist and the landscapes of Pennsylvania. Similarly, the Project Atrium: Muralists in Action installation at MOCA Jacksonville reaches its conclusion today. These large-scale works have transformed the museum's atrium into a vibrant canvas of contemporary style, and today is your last day to experience the immersion before the next installation begins.
Morning Markets and Community Meetups
Start your Sunday with a visit to the historic Jacksonville Farmers Market on West Beaver Street. Open from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, it remains the oldest operating market in Florida and a prime spot for finding fresh, seasonal produce and unique local crafts. If you prefer the salt air, head to the Atlantic Beach Farmer's Market at Jack Russell Park, which runs from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, offering a curated selection of artisanal goods and local greenery.
Finally, the evening offers unique social gatherings, including the MUSE event on East 8th Street, which showcases local creative talent in an intimate setting starting at 7:00 PM. For those in the hospitality industry, Dave & Buster's continues its Sunday tradition of hosting Service Industry Professionals night, providing a relaxed atmosphere for those who keep the city’s dining and entertainment scenes running all week long.
