'Time Warp,' 'Ice, Ice Baby' and other fun things to do this weekend in Jacksonville
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Maybe you've heard that there's a little football game going on Saturday in downtown Jacksonville. But that's not all that's happening — you'll have plenty of time to get terrified, do the Time Warp, bust a move and rock out and still have time to watch the Gators and Bulldogs.
Scares
It's the last weekend before Halloween — the perfect time to scare yourself silly. Jacksonville's two biggest "haunted" attractions are up and running. 13th Floor Haunted House has four new haunts this season: The Deadlands, the Rot Shop, Depths of Darkness and Blackthorne Manor: Book of Lost Souls, plus escape games and axe-throwing. $24.99-$29.99. Haunt Nights at Adventure Landing in Jacksonville Beach has two haunts, The Coven and The Sideshow in 3-D. $24.99-$34.99.

'Rocky Horror Picture Show'
The Florida Theatre has been closed for months for renovations, but it's ready to do the Time Warp again by screening "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Karissa Wade is the host of the screening, and Annie Dukes will provide live music for an hour before the film, which starts at 9 p.m. Friday. It's an audience-participation kind of film, but the theater asks people kindly to not throw things at the screen, smuggle in hot dogs and toast and leave the rice, confetti cannons and lighters at home. Doors open at 7 p.m. $15.
Vanilla Ice
On Friday night, before the Gators and Bulldogs football teams face off at EverBank Stadium, the schools' baseball teams meet up in an exhibition game at 121 Financial Ballpark. First pitch is at 6:30 p.m., and tickets are $15. But the big fun happens afterward, with fireworks and live performances from Vanilla Ice (“Ice, Ice Baby”), Tone Loc (“Funky Cold Medina”), Montell Jordan (“This is How We Do It”) and Young MC (“Bust a Move”).
Arf Barket
The weekly Riverside Arts Market under the Fuller Warren Bridge off Riverside Avenue always welcomes well-behaved dogs, but it's going overboard this week. They'll have the usual variety of vendors, plus trick-or-treating for kids, a pumpkin patch, photo booth and dog costume contest. 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Dirty Honey
One of the hottest young rock band in the land is in town this weekend. Dirty Honey has been touring this fall with Guns N' Roses, but is stepping off on a headlining tour to promote a new album, "Can't Find the Brakes." Dirty Honey is at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, starting at 7 p.m. Saturday. Austin Meade opens the show. $29.50-$35.
