Jaw-Dropping Illusions and Sleight of Hand

This larger-than-life show is designed for audiences of all ages, making it a perfect family outing. Meanwhile, over at the historic Florida Theatre, world-renowned mentalist Asi Wind brings his intimate and mind-bending show, "More Than Magic," to the stage at 7:00 PM. Known for his work with David Blaine, Wind’s performance promises to leave even the most skeptical viewers questioning reality.
Final Call for the Jacksonville Boat Show
Today marks the final day of the Jacksonville Boat Show at the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center. This annual tradition concludes its three-day run with a full schedule of educational seminars, family-friendly activities, and an impressive display of the latest watercraft. From luxury cruisers to fishing boats and personal watercraft, it is the best opportunity of the season for maritime enthusiasts to browse the latest models and speak with industry experts under one roof.
Theater and Dinner at the Alhambra
For those seeking a classic Jacksonville experience, the Alhambra Theatre & Dining continues its run of Menopause The Musical. This hilarious and heartwarming production follows four women at a lingerie sale who bond over their shared experiences with midlife changes. As the nation’s longest-running professional dinner theater, the Alhambra provides a unique experience that pairs the performance with a curated three-course meal, making it an ideal choice for a Sunday matinee or evening out.
Museum Exhibits and Art Walks
If you prefer a quieter Sunday, Jacksonville’s major museums are hosting significant new exhibitions. At the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, visitors can explore the evocative works of Calida Rawles in the exhibit "Away with the Tides," which reimagines water as a space for healing and memory. Nearby, MOCA Jacksonville features "Sebastian Vallejo: Where the Zephyrs Sleep," a vibrant exploration of contemporary Puerto Rican identity through abstract painting. Both museums offer a serene environment to enjoy the intersection of art and local history.
