Saturday, February 1st

Goat Yoga
Who wants to stretch those muscles while cute, little goats bounce around next to you? I do, I do! Plus, to make it even better, there have been a lot of newborn goats that run around in their flannels to stay extra warm. Bring a yoga mat (or towel) and your water bottle. The rest is prepared for you. (Little Peeps Farm // 10-11:30 am // $20)

Jason Aldean
February 1st is a great day for events, particularly because Jason Aldean is rolling through Jacksonville on his 2020 Tour. If you love country music, enjoy rocking some cowboy boots, and are ready for a lively night, come on out to the Veterans Memorial Arena. (Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena // 7:30 pm // $71+)

I’m going to ask all of my “close friends” to come “out the mud” and join me at Lil Baby’s concert, “yes indeed!” If you caught all of those song title puns, then you are a true fan and should be there, too. If not, maybe it’s time to brush up on Lil Baby’s music and watch him live! (Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena // 7:30 pm // $65+)

Fundraising at Mini Bar
I am sure that many of you have heard of the devastating fires in Australia that left burned animals, destroyed landscapes, and hundreds homeless.
