Alachua County communities host free Mother’s Day events and celebrations

Communities across Alachua County marked Mother’s Day weekend with a range of free events, including a pampering event at Legacy Park in Alachua organized by Pepine Gives, an early-morning breakfast and downtown store crawl in High Springs, and a barbecue and jazz festival at the Oaks Mall in Gainesville. The High Springs breakfast, hosted by the New Century Woman’s Club, directed all proceeds to a local nonprofit. Events were designed to bring families together and ensure mothers without nearby family had a place to feel welcomed and appreciated.
