Mayor Lenny Curry and City leaders briefed and answered questions from the media on Thursday afternoon.

Mayor Curry announced that the City will have a 4th of July fireworks celebration downtown, as well as in other locations around Jacksonville so that citizens can safely watch—socially distanced—from their own communities. We look forward to working with local TV stations to broadcast the fireworks to those who choose to stay at home.

The City of Jacksonville and local media group MadMen Marketing have been recognized by The Telly Awards with two silver-level awards for the “Put the Cellphone Down” public service announcement (PSA), a component of the “All in Duval” road safety campaign.

Mayor Curry announced that 5 pools will open on June 8th. Those pools are Julius Guinyard, Oceanway, Woodland Acres, Charles Clark, and the Cecil Aquatic Center. Pool hours will be Monday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. The Cecil Aquatic Center will be open Monday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Please note, that pools that are on Duval County Public School properties will remain closed for the time being. We hope to have access to those facilities sometime in July.

With the second largest memorial wall in the nation and installations from nearly every military branch calling Jacksonville home, it is no secret that Memorial Day is a big deal here.
