December 4: Art Walk takes place the first Wednesday of every month from 5 p.m. through 9 p.m. Walk through over 40 galleries, including UNF’s own MOCA (which is free during Art Walk), and enjoy live music by local artists at the Hemming Plaza. The event officially ends at 9 PM, but the night is still young, as they say. After the galleries close up shop head over to Burro Bar, and enjoy live music from Jacksonville’s own sun-bleached garage rock band Master Radical.
December 6: If you think Laser Floyd only exists in reruns of That 70’s Show you are dead wrong. MOSH in downtown Jacksonville will be playing Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here at 8 p.m., Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon at 9 p.m., and Pink Floyd: The Wall at 10 p.m. Laser lights, high-def images and digital sound will collide to create an unusual and memorable date night. The show is $5 per person.
