The couple is thought to be husband and wife, and their caretaker made the initial discovery before contacting authorities.

Relocation of Duval Day Festival

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, the Duval Day festival has been relocated from its original venue on North Myrtle Avenue to Clanzel T. Brown Park. The decision comes after the City of Jacksonville denied permits for the original location due to concerns about overcrowding and insufficient security measures. The festival is set to take place on July 12, with the new venue located near the intersection of Golfair Boulevard and Moncrief Road.

Duval Day was initially established by comedian Lil Duval and Mr. Manns as a community block party aimed at giving back to the city. The event has gained considerable traction, reportedly attracting over 2,000 attendees in 2024 alone, which far exceeded the capacity of its previous venue.

The permit denial was based on a lack of adequate logistical information, including an absence of a road closure plan and designated restroom facilities. City officials confirmed that the festival organizers would need to meet health and safety requirements to ensure a successful event moving forward. In light of the permit issues, City Councilman Rahman Johnson assisted the organizers in securing the new location, emphasizing the importance of supporting community initiatives.

Goals and Vision

The organizers of Duval Day remain committed to fostering community spirit and positive engagement among participants. The relocation of the festival demonstrates the flexibility and dedication of those involved to adapt to challenges while continuing to provide a space for community members to come together and celebrate.

As Jacksonville prepares for these events, both the expansion of Good Morning Jacksonville’s coverage and the relocation of Duval Day highlight the city’s commitment to enhancing local communication and community events.
