The Players, Monster Jam and 100 other fun things to do in Jacksonville in March
Other than the eight Rock and Roll Hall of Famers coming to town, the Players Championship, Monster Jam, the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, Disney on Ice, Cirque du Soleil, a sidewalk art competition, a new immersive art show, a goofy baseball exhibition and the debut of a new Jacksonville basketball team, there's hardly anything going on around this part of the state in March.
It's not really a question of finding something fun to do; more like choosing which fun thing to do. Here are more than 100 options:
Signature events
