Springing the Blues is closing after 34 years in Jacksonville Beach. The free blues festival built up significant local tourism and economic impact.
Free events are particularly vulnerable to rising operating, security and booking costs, since they operate without a direct ticket-revenue buffer.
Summary
Another long-running festival is disappearing. Jacksonville Beach's Springing the Blues board has announced that the 2026 edition was its last.
