Taking the guesswork out of Gainesville.

Depending on the time of year you choose to visit Gainesville and the things you like to do, we've put together a list of the attractions we think you ought to see while you're here. Of course they are just suggestions from us and a few of the locals, but we think we know how to do Gainesville the right way.

So read up, write down, and start making plans to check out some of the best attractions, activities and events taking place in our wonderful city throughout the year.

*Our artwork here is pretty cool isn't it? That's because we have some really cool people in town. Read more about artist Jim Harrison and The Gainesville Fruit Company.*
