Why don’t you come on up and see us? Lewd and lascivious behavior is expected at Jax Pop Up History held at Dos Gatos Wednesday September 19th starting at 7pm.
Jax Pop Up History is a series of events designed to bring attention to the forgotten history buried in our own back yard. Watch as little known historical events come alive before your very eyes. Jax Pop Up History utilizes social media to spread the word about the secret story telling of historical events in Jacksonville. These events are designed to encourage young professionals to connect with the history of our great city. A history that isn't as conservative and peachy clean as most have grown to expect.
The next Jax Pop Up History Book will be opened on Wednesday September 19th at 7pm as we paint Dos Gatos red.
This chapter will celebrate easy times from Jacksonville's illicit past! Your $5 donation at the door benefits the Jacksonville Historical Society.
Dos Gatos is located at 123 East Forsyth Street.
