SPARdi Gras
February 7, 2026 4:00 PM –8:30 PM
Make plans to join us in Historic Springfield on Saturday, February 7 for SPARdi Gras - that is, how Springfield does Mardi Gras! Presented by TerraWise Homes, SPARdi Gras combines the magic of New Orleans and the spirit of Springfield to create a Mardi Gras experience like no other right here in Jacksonville.
The festivities in Sesquicentennial Park kick off at 4:00 PM on February 7 and will include live music by Swing Bone and Few Fellas Brass Band, dancers, carnival performers, a second line parade led by the Jacksonville Jaguars D-Line, local food vendors, craft beer, free activities for kids, an arts vendor market and more. This family-friendly event is FREE and open to the public!
And, the fun doesn't end when the bands wrap up in the park - stick around and join the Jaguars D-Line for a second line parade to Main Street! The parade will depart from Sesquicentennial Park at 8:15 PM, march through the neighborhood, and end at Crispy's on Main Street, where Junco Royals will keep the party going after hours!
