Why Duval Events?

Imagine scrolling social media and seeing friends raving about the World of Nations Celebration – the one where you 'travel the world in a day' with global food and music – only to realize it's already over. Or missing the Gate River Run, Jacksonville's massive 15K race that draws thousands, because you didn't check the right site in time. That's the frustration of Duval's packed event scene: so many traditions, but they're buried across Visit Jacksonville, city calendars, and local blogs. Briefsy fixes that. We scan Duval's local sources daily – from the Jacksonville Jazz Festival to fall harvest fun – and deliver ONLY the events matching YOUR interests in one perfect email. Feel the excitement of being first to know, connected to your community, without the overwhelm. Join 3,200+ Duval locals who never miss out.
