Review & FAQ:
Green Cove Springs is a historic town that was founded in the mid-1800s along the St. John’s River. One of the most beautiful and most exciting times to visit the small town just south of Jacksonville is over Memorial Day weekend when the annual RiverFest is held to honor the military and veterans. Visit in October to join in the annual Soul Food Festival and dance competition with family-friendly games and entertainment. Visitors particularly interested in history can also stop by the Military Museum of North Florida or the North Florida Railway Museum.
