David Spade at Florida Theatre
Nominated in 1999 for an Emmy Award for his memorable role as Dennis Finch, the wise-cracking, power-hungry assistant on “Just Shoot Me,” David Spade became a household favorite during his five-year stint as a cast member on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” He was also nominated for a Golden Globe in 2000 and an American Comedy Award in 1999 for his work on NBC’s “Just Shoot Me.” Spade continues to be a box office draw and continues to do stand-up tours nationwide. $45 – $65, 7 p.m.; 128 E Forsyth St #300, Jacksonville, FL; floridatheatre.com/ // @floridatheatre

Paddle to Big Cypress at Melton Nelson Boat Ramp
Grab your kayak, canoe, or paddleboard for an on-the-water experience with Amelia Adventures to the Big Cypress on Lofton Creek in Yulee, FL. This paddle is perfect for paddlers of any level, including children and beginners. It’s an intimate nature experience in which participants can expect to get up close and personal with nature. The terrestrial nature of the forest attracts pileated woodpeckers, red shoulder hawks, and the curious anhinga, sometimes referred to as the “water turkey.” The protected makeup of Lofton Creek means paddling here is “weather resistant” to tumultuous coastal conditions. Don’t have a kayak? No worries! Kayaks can be rented from Amelia Adventures. Donation. 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.; 463540 S.R. 200 Yulee, FL; ameliaadventures.com // @ameliaadventure
