We have one final event to close out the Sesquicentennial year of Jacksonville! We will be burying a time capsule this Saturday at 10:00 am. We will start in City Hall where you will have a chance to see what is going in the capsule. After it is sealed, we will make our way to Hazel Tilton Park where it will be buried. The portion of the event at City Hall will be live streamed but the burial may not be included.
