The Three Lions in San Marco Square provided a window into the action in the center of Balis Park, where the community gathered to kick off a weekend of fun during the popular Florida-Georgia weekend.
The time-honored college football game between the University of Florida and the University of Georgia returned to EverBank Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 28, pitting long-standing rivals Gators and Bulldogs against one another for the 91st time in the City of Jacksonville.
But before kickoff on Saturday, families, friends and neighbors gathered in San Marco’s Balis Park for the annual Bash in Balis, hosted by the San Marco Merchants Association, held the day before, on Friday, Oct. 27.
Live musical performances provided soundtrack for this family-friendly event offering yard games and food trucks. Classic car aficionados could enjoy a classic car show and local vendors proffered their wares for some light shopping before the day was done.
The event ran from 5-8 p.m., so participants could call it an early night in preparation for the big game the following day.
