What will the weather be like?
As you prepare for our anniversary festivities in Jacksonville during the week of November 22, 2025, expect mild and pleasant fall weather. Daytime highs typically reach the low 70s°F, while evenings cool down to the mid-50s°F. It’s the perfect blend of crisp and comfortable—ideal for dressing up in formal attire without breaking a sweat.
We recommend bringing a light jacket or wrap for the evening, just in case the breeze joins the party. And while rain is rare this time of year, a small umbrella wouldn’t hurt—just in case the skies decide to surprise us.
Which airport is closest to the venue?
Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) is located approximately 28 miles from our venue at the Hampton Inn & Suites Jacksonville/Orange Park. The drive typically takes 30 to 35 minutes, depending on traffic. The most direct route is via I-295 North, offering a quick and convenient connection from the airport to the hotel.
