Donny Osmond, Yellowcard and other fun stuff to do this weekend in Jacksonville
There's plenty of fun to be had around Jacksonville on the last weekend in July, with a big festival planned for downtown, the zoo wrapping up its summer-long after-hours light show and visits from Donny Osmond and Jacksonville's own Yellowcard.
Third Eye Blind
6:30 p.m. Friday at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. $21.66-$96.66
Third Eye Blind is a big deal in the rock world but it's a fair guess that a lot of people going to their concert on Friday will be there to see Yellowcard, the Jacksonville band that opens the show. Info: jaxevents.com
