JACKSONVILLE, FL, February 6, 2024 - SPARdi Gras 2024 - How Springfield Does Mardi Gras - Presented by TerraWise Homes returns to Historic Springfield on February 10, 2024. 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.
SPARdi Gras will take place Saturday, February 10, 2024, 5 - 9 PM, in Sesquicentennial Park (1527 N Main Street) in Historic Springfield, just north of Downtown Jacksonville. Festivities include live music, carnival performers, a golf cart float parade and scavenger hunt, food trucks, craft beer, and more.

We also encourage attendees to explore our Main Street businesses. Businesses up and down Main Street will offer all day promotions and discounts for SPARdi Gras.
