There's a parade at 10 a.m., with SCSU and FAMU bands to performing. It leaves from 601 Adams Street, travels down Bay Street to Newnan, by the Landing, then up to Forsythe, then back to Bay. Then there's the Edward Waters College vs. Benedict College game kicking off at 1 p.m. at Raines High School. That will be over just in time to go to the official Orange Blossom Classic tailgate party, which begins at 4 p.m. at Adams Street between Alltel Stadium and the Jacksonville Memorial Coliseum. And save some energy for the After-Game Dance Party inside the Coliseum features The Phat Cat Players.
Tickets are available at the door.
