It’s the unofficial start to summer, so Florida State Parks will be bustling with activity this weekend.

When parking lots become full, some parks may temporarily close to vehicle traffic. But you can usually still enter the park on a bicycle or by foot. If you plan to visit a park that’s usually very busy, consider walking or biking in, if possible.

Already established as a “can’t miss” event for music lovers, the Fort Mose Jazz & Blues Series reached even greater heights in 2026, when headliners like Gary Clark Jr. and Samara Joy took to the stage set against the stunning backdrop of the reconstructed 1738 Fort Mose.

[FL State Parks Foundation @FLStateParksFdn]

From battle reenactments to living history demonstrations, or even just an afternoon spent outside, the historic 1738 fort reconstruction is an unforgettable centerpiece that has transformed the experience of visiting Fort Mose Historic State Park.

[FL State Parks Foundation @FLStateParksFdn]

From an open meadow to a major construction site to a full-scale, historic fort, it’s amazing to see the progress made at Fort Mose Historic State Park.

These photos show where we started, and where we are today!
