The town hosts the Northeast Florida Fair each fall, along with parades, farmers markets and Friday night football at West Nassau High School.

A new wave of shopping, dining and services along US-1 has added everyday convenience, while the Amelia Island beaches remain a comfortable 45-minute drive.
