Beluthahatchee is such a magical, peaceful spot \u2014 my mom lives right down the road, so I know how special the area is. This monthly folk music series, presented by the Stetson Kennedy Foundation and St. Johns County Parks, showcases artists who reflect the values and spirit of the late folklorist and human rights activist Stetson Kennedy. This month\u2019s event features a special tribute to Woody Guthrie in honor of his upcoming birthday, with live performances by the North Florida Folk Network. It\u2019s the perfect setting for it, considering Guthrie lived at Beluthahatchee for a time and wrote many of his songs there.<\/p>\n<p>2 p.m.- 4 p.m. | 1523 S.R. 13 N., Fruit Cove | $10 suggested donation | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floridashistoriccoast.com\/events\/sundays-at-stetsons-park\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More info<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two comic book fests in one on the Westside, Duval Day in Moncrief, and folk music amidst nature&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":334603,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-334602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
