“Diary of Anne Frank” at The Waterworks
“With the rising increase in anti-Semitism in this area, we felt an urgency to bring this story to local audiences, especially students,” remarked Ian Mairs, Managing Director. The “Diary of Anne Frank” is one of the most famous and haunting stories to emerge from the 20th century. The memoirs of this young Jewish girl, forced to hide for nearly two years to escape Nazi persecution, are an essential part of how we remember one of the darkest periods of human history. Every generation encounters the text and has the same reaction. In the face of such inhumanity, the human spirit still perseveres. $15. 2-3:30 p.m. 184 San Marco Ave. St. Augustine, FL; historiccoastculture.com

Goat  Yoga at Little Peeps Farm
All of the goats are super friendly and love when people visit the farm. They love to snuggle and play and if you’re real lucky, you may even get some goat hugs and kisses. When there are babies in the yard, they usually get the majority of the attention, of course. They have so much energy and love to climb up high and can do some really crazy dismounts when they’re feeling extra spunky! Parkour anyone? Sometimes they’re a little nuts. Other times, they’re just as precious as can be, curling up in your lap for a bit of a nap! We suggest everyone bring an old beach towel or two (back-ups are great to have), water, and bug spray. In the event of recent rain/wet ground, we suggest bringing an old yoga mat or waterproof picnic mat. Parking is really tight here, so we like to encourage carpooling when possible, and thank you for your cooperation with that. $30. 10- 11:30 a.m. 3049 Cortez Rd. Jacksonville, FL; littlepeepsfarm.com // @little_peeps_farm
