Things to Do in Gainesville, Florida

200 upcoming events at 57 venues

Gainesville gave the world Tom Petty, and the town has never stopped making music. The Fest, the long-running punk festival that takes over downtown each fall, draws bands and fans from around the globe to a weekend of shows in every bar, club, and parking lot that can hold a stage. Bo Diddley Plaza — named for another local legend — hosts free downtown concerts, and the Hippodrome anchors the theater scene in a columned former federal building. University of Florida game days turn the whole city into a roaring street party. For a mid-size college town, Gainesville's musical footprint is enormous.
