A Night of Iconic Hits at Alhambra Theatre

For those looking to beat the Monday blues with some high-energy nostalgia, the Alhambra Theatre & Dining is the place to be tonight. The venue is hosting "The Phil Collins Story," a concert extravaganza dedicated to the legendary career of both Genesis and Phil Collins. This one-night-only performance is scheduled for March 16, 2026, and promises to take audiences on a musical journey through decades of chart-topping success. Fans can expect to hear definitive versions of classics like "In The Air Tonight," "Against All Odds," and "Sussudio." This special engagement provides a perfect alternative to the usual theater schedule, offering a lively celebration of the music that defined a generation.

Contemporary Art at MOCA Jacksonville

Culture seekers can spend their Monday afternoon at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Jacksonville to witness the latest installation of Project Atrium. Running from March 5 through August 16, 2026, the current featured artist, Ward, has transformed the gallery space using a unique medium: emergency blankets. The installation utilizes reflective silver and gold materials to create a striking visual experience that challenges perceptions of safety, survival, and value. Located in the heart of downtown, MOCA provides a quiet but powerful space to engage with world-class contemporary art on a weekday.
