Looking for something fun to do this weekend?
I’ve rounded up some of the best Jacksonville weekend outings for November 13–15, 2026, including a Greek festival, holiday shopping, local markets, art and a few easy day trips.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxing morning or a little adventure with friends, here are some of my favorites!
Jacksonville Weekend Outings: A Taste of Greece
Now this sounds like a good time!
The Jacksonville Greek Festival returns November 13–15 at St. John the Divine Greek Orthodox Church on Beach Boulevard.
Enjoy homemade Greek food, delicious pastries, traditional dancing and live music.
Admission is $5, and parking is free.
If you’ve never been, this might be the perfect weekend to give it a try!
A Little Holiday Shopping in Ponte Vedra
Ready to start checking off that Christmas list?
First Coast Cultural Center is hosting its 35th Annual Holiday Shoppes on Saturday and Sunday.
You’ll find jewelry, artwork, clothing, sweets and unique handmade gifts.
A $5 donation is suggested at the door.
It’s a nice opportunity to support local makers while getting a little holiday shopping done.
A Sweet Day Trip to St. Augustine
Here’s something different!
The Florida Key Lime Pie Festival takes place Saturday, November 14, from 10 AM–6 PM at Francis Field.
Enjoy key lime pie, food trucks, music, vendors and fun contests.
And since you’re already in St. Augustine, why not enjoy lunch or explore downtown afterward?
Art, Fresh Air and Local Markets
Sometimes the simplest outings are the best.
Riverside Arts Market returns Saturday from 10 AM–3 PM with local artists, farmers, handmade goods and food vendors.
Or spend a relaxing afternoon at the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens.
Saturday offers a guided museum highlights tour, while Sunday features Tai Chi and a sound bath in the gardens.
Both are wonderful ways to slow down and enjoy something different.
A Little Movement and Nature
If you enjoy being outdoors, Jacksonville’s Riverwalk Educational Plant Walk on Saturday morning offers a chance to learn about local plants while enjoying the St. Johns River.
And if you’re spending time with grandchildren, MOCA Jacksonville is hosting a free Family Day on Sunday with creative activities.
Enjoy Your Weekend!
One of the things I love about Jacksonville is how many different experiences we have close to home.
We can enjoy cultural festivals, discover a local market, explore beautiful gardens or take a short drive to St. Augustine.
These Jacksonville weekend outings offer something for almost everyone.
And that’s part of what makes life after 55 in Northeast Florida so much fun!
So grab a friend, make some plans and enjoy your weekend.
Whether you’re right-sizing, relocating, retiring or simply looking for more ways to enjoy life after 55, Jacksonville has plenty to offer.
