Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail Bike Hike
If you have never biked along the paved Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail, this path extends about seven miles out, passing rather scenic views and quaint neighborhoods. This trail is part of a nation-wide, “Rails to Trails” program, designed to turn abandoned railroad lines into linear parks. For Thursday’s guided bike hike, a park naturalist will be leading the group at 11 a.m. along the trail, at a leisurely pace. With the cooler weather and predicted sunshine, a casual bike ride could be a great late morning approach for a nice day. Note: Bring your own bike. 10- 10:45 a.m. and 11- 11:45 a.m. Free. Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail Trail: 1225 Halsema Rd. N, Jacksonville, FL; facebook.com/events/459055005645367 

Music Bingo at Monty’s
Every Thursday, Monty’s/Shore’s Liquors of Avondale is the spot for bingo, music, and prizes. You can make the games even a little more competitive if you bring your friends and test your music knowledge. This event is free and open to the public. 10:30 p.m.- 12:30 a.m. Free. Monty’s/Shore’s Liquors of Avondale: 3644 Saint Johns Ave., Jacksonville, FL; facebook.com/events/301684567995000/ //@shoresliquoravondale

12.3- 12.4

Mozart’s Dream: Piano Concerto No.21
Pianist, Alessio Bax, will be playing Mozart’s 21st piano concerto. He is a pianist so notable, that The New York Times called his playing “so seemingly effortless that the music appeared to live and breathe of its own volition.” The Jacksonville Symphony always has breath-taking performances, so come prepared to be astounded. 7:30 p.m. $25-$77. Times Union Center: 300 Water St., Jacksonville, FL; jaxsymphony.org/event/mozart-dream/ //@jaxsymphony

Goat Yoga
It is time to take advantage of Jacksonville’s unique goat yoga, as this is one of the last remaining weeks to give it a shot. Little Peeps Farm hosts this quirky experience, with the opportunity to allow baby goats to jump on your back while you strike a yoga pose. There are also lingering chickens and older goats that will occasionally lie down on your mat. All in all, goat yoga is very fun, and everyone has a very memorable time, whether you like yoga or not. 9:30- 11 a.m. $25.

Brewsology Beer Festival
This night-at-the-museum festival is not your standard visit to a museum; the Brewsology Beer Festival is the opportunity to sample over 30 breweries and 75 beers as you explore the hallways and exhibits of the Museum of Science and History during after-hours. Promoter, Dan Silberstein, noted that the event is inaugural, though it has been held in Cleveland and Los Angeles earlier this year. Tickets will not be sold at the door, so make sure to purchase online if you are interested. 7-11 p.m. $50-$65.

Jimmy Buffett
Maybe making for the most extraordinary Tuesday yet, Big-name Jimmy Buffett is coming to Jacksonville. If you like Margaritaville, He Went to Paris, or many of his other well-known songs, consider purchasing a ticket to his concert at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. His devoted fanbase, known as “Parrotheads”, will surely be in attendance. This could be a great way to wrap up 2021, if you have yet to attend a fun concert. 8 p.m. $37-205.
