It's Mother's Day weekend, and there are a few things on the schedule that Mom ought to enjoy, including a massive country music concert, a historical reenactment, a well-known comedian, an art show/classical music hybrid and one of the hottest tours in music.
George Strait
The young'uns had their shot last week when Luke Combs headlined two concerts at EverBank Stadium. Now it's time for the old pros. George Strait, who has won just about every award country music gives out, is the headliner. Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town, either of which could headline any arena in the country, are the openers. Showtime is 5:45 p.m. Saturday. $155-$565. Info: everbankstadium.com

Drake’s Raid Reenactment
2,000 Englishmen raided Spanish-held St. Augustine in 1586. Re-enactors will recreate the raid and pretend to sack and burn the town starting at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Orange Street Redoubt, in front of Ann O’Malley’s. They’ll also set up an era-appropriate settlement at the Oldest House Museum Complex, with drills and weapons demonstrations, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Info: visitstaugustine.com
ArtSongs
Two of Jacksonville’s largest cultural institutions join forces as images of works from the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens are projected onto a large screen over the head of the musicians of the Jacksonville Symphony. It's part of the symphony's Family Concert series, a delightful way to treat Mom on Mother's Day. 3 p.m. Sunday at Jacoby Symphony Hall, with pre-concert kids' activities starting at 2 p.m. $8-$10.

Jim Breuer
The former “Saturday Night Live” staffer and frequent Howard Stern guest claims he hasn't dropped an F-bomb on stage in more than a decade, but that doesn't mean he won't push the limits as far as he can. Breuer is at the Florida Theatre at 7 p.m. Sunday. $35-$75. Info: floridatheatre.com
AJR
When brothers Adam, Jack and Ryan Met needed a name for their band, AJR just seemed to make sense. They're on their first headlining arena tour, which stops by VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena at 7:30 p.m. Sunday. The band is donating $1 for every ticket sold to climate change initiatives. Dean Lewis opens. $46.41-$154. Info: jaxevents.com
