Outside EverBank Stadium, RV City, a longtime tailgating tradition tied to the Georgia-Florida game, sits empty. Local reporting documents reduced sales and fewer visitors in downtown Jacksonville since the rivalry moved to Atlanta. Here's Chloe with your forecast. Partly sunny, high 79 and low 69; northeast winds around 14 with gusts to 23 and a 20 percent chance of showers between midnight and 2 in the morning. Iris is live. Persimmon Festival is Sunday, November 1, starting at 10 in the morning at Eat Your Yard Jax Farm. Tastings, vendors, music and workshops will be there; check the event page for tickets. If you're heading out Wednesday, November 4, Día de los Muertos starts at 5 in the evening at James Weldon Johnson Park. It's free, with altars, music and food vendors.
