JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. — A new wave could be crashing into Jacksonville Beach, except from sound rather than from the sea.
Real Time Entertainment and Management, known as RTEAM, a company based in Jacksonville Beach that helps organize other local music events, is asking the city to approve its “Spring Fling” idea for the Seawalk Pavilion.

RTEAM said the “Spring Fling” would hope to sell around 7,000 tickets for people to see live, local artists and art displays honoring Florida’s history. Tickets would range from anywhere between $35 - $275, depending on how early you buy them and if they’re VIP tickets.
The idea strikes the right chord for locals like Michael DeLuca, who has lived in Jax Beach for the last two years.

“You can hear it from everywhere, you can hear it from the beach, you can hear it from the pier, so it’s not something you have to sit down and watch,” DeLuca said.
DeLuca said many of his warmer evenings are spent paddle boarding near the Jax Beach pier. His favorite nights are when he can hear live music from the pavilion on the beach.

“You’re out there thinking of the Hawaii Five-O song in your head, so this way you can hear other live music,” DeLuca said.
If the festival is approved, it would join other Jax Beach music festivals like the Seawalk Music Festival, Springing the Blues, and Fin Fest. It would debut in March 2026 with hopes to continue every year.
RTEAM and the city weren’t able to speak with Action News Jax, but the city is set to approve the “Spring Fling” proposal in its meeting tonight at city hall.
