For the shortest month of the year (even with an extra day in '24), there sure are a lot of things going on in February in the Jacksonville area. We've got festivals, a marathon, Black History Month events, Valentine's Day things, a big concert series in St. Augustine, big-name comedians, bullriders, college basketball, Florida Man and a visit from Napoleon, Pedro and Uncle Rico.

Signature events

DONNA Marathon

Feb. 4 at the Beaches

The annual marathon to raise money for the fight against breast cancer got a little complicated when Donna Deagan, who started the whole thing, was elected mayor of Jacksonville last year. The mostly flat course starts and finishes at Seawalk Pavilion. Info: breastcancermarathon.com

Battle of Olustee Reenactment

Feb. 16-18 at Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park 

In 1864, more than 10,000 Union and Confederate troops fought in Florida's largest Civil War battle at a site that is now a state park about 60 miles west of Jacksonville.

Northeast Florida Scottish Highland Games & Festival

Feb. 24 at the Clay County Fairgrounds

This part of the state isn’t particularly known for its large Scottish population, but this festival has caught on. There are Scottish clans and bagpipes and food, but the big draw is the games, where men in kilts throw caber poles and toss heavy stuff as high as they can. Fans can get a double-dip in 2024 when the Scottish Athletic Masters World Championship comes to the same venue Oct. 4-6. Info: neflgames.com
